The conservation ethic was mainly imbibed in the sylvan surroundings of the ashrams of sages which were the seats of learning in the country’s ancient past. Indian wildlife sanctuaries are home to variety species of birds, mammals and other animals. In India there are around 531 wildlife sanctuaries. Among these wildlife sanctuaries, Project Tiger in India governs 28 Tiger Reserves and they hold special significance in the preservation
CHAPTER 4 TIGER CONSERVATION INTRODUCTION “The Indian tiger has been the centre of attraction in the Indian jungles, as a big fame, during the last two centuries. Apart from Maharajas and Nawabs who had interest in hunting of tigers, the British officers, soldiers and civil officers were all keen on bagging at least one tiger before they retired. A few of them attempted to score a century of tiger heads and succeeded. Some even repeated the performance as many as 10 times, thus massacring over a
Indian traditional art and craft are age old practices by different craft-guilds all over India. Though they are the manifestation of cultural heritage of this country, gradual seclusion from the larger population and the craft-guilds will affect the cultural sustainability of the country. Initially many of the traditional painters were associated with social ceremony and used to paint on façade of village houses or on scrolls as part of a traditional gesture of the ceremony (Ranjan and Ranjan, 2007)
both tigers and elephants, and therefore wildlife corridors hold significance, particularly as it is right beside Jim Corbett National Park, which continues to be a habitat with one of the densest population of tigers in India. Corridors are valuable tools for wildlife conservation, as they enable animals to connect to different landscapes. Fragmentation of such corridors could have harmful effects in the long run. Some such effects include genetic isolation, fragmentation of habitat within the same
the main means by which the traditional societies have managed natural resources for millennia . Thus biodiversity conservation holds primary importance for sustainable use of the natural resources especially at a time which when the common resources which should be judiciously exploited are being exploited in arbitrary manner. The Role of Traditional Knowledge in Bidoversity Conservation The term traditional knowledge is very often substituted for the word Indigenous knowledge considering the fact
driven only by economic motives, has demolished the stability of the biosphere. So in today’s world “sustainability “in all aspects of life is very essential to make the world a better place to live. According to Mahatma Gandhi, known as “Father of India”,” The Earth has everything to meet human needs not all human greed”. “Sustainability” means “Take nothing and do no harm”. According to Ray Anderson, one of the green CEOs of America, all business with a no sustainable model is doing a theft (Anderson
NEED AND PURPOSE FOR CONSERVATION OF BIODIVERSITY Biodiversity conservation is about saving life on Earth in all its forms and keeping natural ecosystems functioning and healthy. Biodiversity is being depleted by the loss of habitat, fragmentation of habitat, over exploitation of resources, human sponsored ecosystems, climatic changes, pollution invasive exotic species, diseases, shifting cultivation, poaching of wild life etc. Since the human beings are enjoying all the benefits from biodiversity
Conservation of Natural Resources Bharat Ratnu Resources are the beautiful gift of nature for human being and a primary assets to the nation’s economy. Resources are features of environment that have great importance and value to human in one form or the other. However, the advancement of modern civilization has had a great impact on our planet's natural resources with rapid increase of population, the use is also going to increase along with misuse of resources, thus disturbing its potential productive
ANIMAL AND FEATURES: Nowadays a lot of animals are being hunted. The organism that I have chosen is the national animal of India - The Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris). It has a lot of physical adaptations like striped fur to camouflage, soft pads which allows them to walk silently to their prey, this allows them to survive in its habitat. They are nocturnal animals. WHY ARE THEY ENDANGERED? Bengal tigers are beautiful animals and it's really disheartening to watch them die! Hunters are hunting them
India's forest areas, people are fighting for democracy, livelihood and dignity. Millions of people live in and near India's forestlands, but have no legal right to their homes, lands or livelihoods. Since times immemorial, these tribal communities of India have had an integral, close-knit relationship with the forests and have been dependent on the forests for livelihoods and existence. This is the closest possible example of mutually beneficial symbiotic relationships of man with nature. However, rights
etc. Red panda’s tend to breed once a year. Females give birth to offspring’s during late spring and summer. Number of offspring’s varies from one to four offspring’s. Geological locations of Red panda include mountains of Nepal, Northern Myanmar, India, Bhutan, and they’re also found in central
NEED AND PURPOSE FOR CONSERVATION OF BIODIVERSITY: Biodiversity, a contraction of “biological diversity,” generally refers to the variety and variability of life on Earth. The very existence of human species and sustainable development depend on biodiversity conservation, therefore the need for conservation of biodiversity is basically for this reason that all living creatures need other creatures and plants in one way or the other. At least 40 per cent of the world’s economy and 80 per cent
how is climate change even related to energy conservation? Many consider efficiently using energy and hence conserving it as a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Energy conservation reduces the need for energy services and can result in increased environmental quality, national security, personal finance security and higher savings. What is energy conservation Energy conservation are efforts made to reduce the consumption Energy conservation is a very important part of energy planning and
the first hydro-electric power plants in Khopoli in 191, and in 1919, the second was built in Bhivpuri India. TPC is the largest power company located in Mumbai Maharastra. This corporation generates, transfers and delivers electricity using fuel and renewable resources such as hydropower, geothermal energy, wind, and solar, ("Tata Power," 2013). TCP employee over 200,000 people across India and is the country’s largest employer (Srivastava, Negi, Mishra, & Pandey, 2012). TPC has created the
this includes diversity within species, between species, and of ecosystems (CBD 1992). The term biodiversity, the short form of biological diversity, was coined by Walter G. Rosen in 1985. The fundamental to ecologically sustainable development is conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. An environment rich in biological diversity offers the broadest array of options for sustainable economic activity, for sustaining human welfare and for adapting to change. Global Biodiversity Assessment estimates
increase in the human population. The declination of the human death rate as a result of tiger attacks can cause overpopulation, especially in for India and China, which holds two of the world’s largest population. In addition, the depletion of the tiger population will cause a stir in the world’s ecosystem; therefore the fight for tiger conservation should be acknowledged and continually enforced.
The conservation and community building is the only investment for water resources. Anupam Mishra of the Gandhi peace foundation says that water droplets from the clouds you can fill the ocean drop by drop. By the help of central government in the village of Gujarat there is a committee who get insured that help in the natural calamities and in disaster. In India, the farmers association for construction and conservation of water system is known as PACHAYAT in

of O. P. Dwivedis Satyagraha for Conservation: Awakening the Spirit of Hinduism In his article Satyagraha for Conservation: Awakening the Spirit of Hinduism, O. P. Dwivedi argues that we must reawaken religious values if the world is going to reduce the current level of environmental degradation. He suggests that religious beliefs can serve as a crucial foundation in helping to create a self-consciously moral society which would put conservation and respect for Gods creation first
more efforts should be made to expand conservation areas in a way that helps to protect the biodiversity for a long time (Conservation International, 2007). In addition, many other projects implemented by the British Aid Agency aims to decrease poverty and increase awareness about natural resources and this will result in biodiversity conservation (Conservation International, 2007). Other projects aim to protect specific species, such as the horned rhinos in India. The Indian Rhino Vision 2020 helped
