Though India boasts of a very colorful wildlife, its wildlife heritage is dwindling very fast due to rapid modernization, urbanization and growth. In fact several animals are on the verge of extinction.
To protect India’s wildlife heritage the central and state governments have taken several steps to protect animals and that is the root reason why several forests were declared as reserve areas.
Special wildlife conservation programs such as ‘Project Tiger’ were launched by the government to protect animals from extinction. The Government of India has established several National parks and wildlife sanctuaries that come under the definition of ‘Protected Areas’ with the objective of retaining wildlife habitats.
In all there are 86 National Parks and 481 Wildlife Sanctuaries in India. To name a few: Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary in Tamil Nadu, Corbett National Park in Uttaranchal, Gir National Park in Gujarat, Kaziranga National Park, Velavadar National Park, Dachigam sanctuary, Kanha National Park et al.
