Why should we save

them• Wildlife in India• As per the survey India is a home to about 60-70%

of the total biodiversity found across the world and about 33% of plant species are endemic.

• There are 172, or 2.9%, of IUCN-designated threatened species in India. Under this comes the Asiatic Lion, Bengal Tiger.

• This enforces the need of right wildlife conservation.• In nature every species is interdependent on each

other. For example extinction of Dodo bird leads to the extinction of Major calvaria tree. Which means that humans extinct when the flora and fauna extincts

How can we save

them• Every one should be made aware about

the animals and how to conserve them.• Puppets shows, road shows, flash mobs

are to be performed to increase awareness• Avoid buying products that are made out

of animals• Declaring the endangered species as the

state symbols• Establishing of National Parks ,Wild life

sanctuaries, Zoos at the places where the extinction is at rapid phase
