Wildlife conservation is one of the most concerning issues across the globe. A serious decrease in the number of wildlife species will pose potential threats to the ecological balance. Thus, the government is trying its level best to preserve this wonder of nature. Some of the important measures taken in an endeavour to protect the wild animals and their habitat are as under.
• Project Tiger: Launched in 1973, this project aims to protect our national animal – Tiger. It increased the number of tiger reserves from nine to 47. This initiative is taken in the direction of anti-poaching and tiger protection. Nagarahole and Bandipur national parks in Karnataka are also brought under this project.
• Project Elephant: This project was launched in 1992 with an aim to provide technical, scientific and financial assistance to states, which have a high density of elephants. The project aims to save these animals and their habitat, and to address human-animal conflict issues. Bandipur National Park was the venue for the first meeting on this project.
