? The wildlife of India is a mix of species of diverse
origins ? The region's rich and diverse wildlife is preserved in numerous national parks and wildlife sanctuaries across the country ? Since India is home to a number of rare and threatened animal species, wildlife management in the country is essential to preserve these species
? India along with 17 mega diverse countries is home to
about 60-70% of the world's biodiversity. ? India, lying within the Indomalaya ecozone, is home to about 7.6% of all mammalian, 12.6% of avian, 6.2% of reptilian, and 6.0% of flowering plant species ? Many ecoregions, such as the shola forests, also exhibit extremely high rates of endemism; overall, 33% of Indian plant species are endemic
? India's forest cover ranges from the tropical rainforest
of the Andaman Islands, Western Ghats, and Northeast India to the coniferous forest of the Himalaya. ? Between these extremes lie the sal-dominated moist deciduous forest of eastern India; teak-dominated dry deciduous forest of central and southern India; and the babul-dominated thorn forest of the central Deccan and western Gangetic plain.
? Important Indian trees include the medicinal neem,
widely used in rural Indian herbal remedies. ? The pipal fig tree, shown on the seals of Mohenjodaro, shaded the Gautama Buddha as he sought enlightenment.
? 2546 species of fishes (about 11% of the world species)
? 197 species of amphibians (4.4% of the world total)
? more than 408 reptile species (6% of the world total) ? 1250 species of birds
? 410 species of mammals known from India which is
about 8.86% of the world species.

India's first national park was established in 1936 as Hailey National Park, now known as Jim Corbett National Park. ? In 1972, India enacted the Wildlife Protection Act and Project Tiger to safeguard the habitats of conservation reliant species. ? A total of 166 national parks have been authorized.

wildlife ? offers some distinguished forest reserves for sighting the variety of wild animals and birds in their natural habitat ? one can explore the wilds of the forest that have been planned keeping in mind the rich legacy of wildlife and the comforts of the travelers ? includes wildlife photography, Eco-tourism and wildlife conservation
? The Indian Government has taken adequate steps for the
conservation and preservation of some of the highly endangered and elusive mammals. ? Extensive covers of forests have been preserved in India through 80 National Parks and 441 Sanctuaries for wildlife viewing. ? India is the second largest country to have such diversified wildlife tourism

Sanctuary ? Many National Parks were initially Wildlife Sanctuaries.

? The main objectives of the Ministry are conservation
and survey of flora, fauna, forest and wildlife, prevention and control of pollution, afforestation and regeneration of degraded areas, protection of environment and ensuring the welfare of animals. ? These objectives are sought to be fulfilled through environmental impact assessment, eco-regeneration, assistance to organisations implementing environmental and forestry research, education and training, dissemination of environmental information and international cooperation and creation of environmental awareness.
? Plant Diseases and Pests Act (1959);
? Forest Act (1968)
? Agricultural Resources (Conservation) Act (1974) ? Seed Act (1976) ? Herbage Presevation (Prevention of fires) Act (1977) ? Tourism Act (1992) ? Wildlife Conservation and National Parks Act (1992).
The global market size of wildlife tourism is estimated as being 12 million trips each year. Africa accounts for around one half of all these trips, with South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania and Botswana being the top destinations. ? Some destinations rely heavily on wildlife tourism, but could survive without it\ (wildlife tourism contributes roughly $500 million to the Kenyan economy, or 14% of GDP). ? On the other hand, places such as the Galapagos islands rely almost exclusively on wildlife tourists (wildlife tourism contributes £60 million to the local economy). ? Other destinations are enjoying increased influxes of visitors due to strong interest In certain mammals. For example there has been considerable growth in whale watching at Kaikoura in New Zealand and Puerto Piraminde in Argentinean Patagonia.
?
? Interest in wildlife is growing considerably, in
particular as its exposure in the international media increases. ? As with bird watching, the National Geographic channel and other renowned television channels have generated increased interest amongst consumers. ? There is still considerable potential for growth within this market, and it is expected to expand by between 8% and 10% per annum over the next decade.
? Habitat loss: Fewer natural wildlife habitat areas
remain each year. Moreover, the habitat that remains has often been degraded to bear little resemblance to the natural wild areas which existed in the past.
? Climate change: Because many types of plants and animals have
specific habitat requirements, climate change could cause disastrous loss of wildlife species. A slight drop or rise in average rainfall will translate into large seasonal changes. Hibernating mammals, reptiles, amphibians and insects are harmed and disturbed. Plants and wildlife are sensitive to moisture change so, they will be harmed by any change in the moisture level. ? Pesticides and toxic chemicals: Pesticides are deliberately spread to make the environment toxic to certain plants, insects, and rodents, so it should not be surprising that other plants and wildlife are deliberately harmed at the same time. In addition many chemical pollutants are toxic to wildlife, such as PCBs, mercury, petroleum by-products, solvents, antifreeze, etc. ? Hunting and poaching: Unregulated hunting and poaching causes a major threat to wildlife. Along with this, mismanagement of forest department and forest guards triggers this problem.
? Natural phenomena: Floods, earthquakes, volcanoes,
lightning, forest fires ? Pollution: Pollutants released into the environment are ingested by a wide variety of organisms. ? Over-exploitation of resources: Exploitation of wild populations for food has resulted in population crashes (over-fishing, for example). ? Accidental deaths: Car hits, window collisions (birds), collisions with ships (whales).
? The World Tourism Organization is a significant
global body, concerned with the collection and collation of statistical information on international tourism ? This organization represents public sector tourism bodies, from most countries in the world and the publication of its data makes possible comparisons of the flow and growth of tourism on a global scale. ? The WTO is handle the promotional and security for wild life tourism development with help of ministry.it is considered to be the mini-ministrial.
? Hence, we would like conclude the the conservation of
the wild life in India and globally is essential in the development of the wild life tourism. ? The Inflow of tourist in wildlife is growing considerably, in particular as its exposure in the international wide huge increases.
