But, unfortunately this precious treasure is under a tremendous
threat!
Threat from pollution,
pressures of urbanization, poaching, illegal trade,
superstitions, hunting for
fun, destruction
of habitat, unethical practices, population problems,
political conflicts, crowding concrete jungles, and so
on…
The flora and fauna
of India is now demanding all the attention, concern
and conscience of every individual to
contribute directly and indirectly towards the conservation
of this precious treasure. Quite
disappointingly, there are still a majority of people
who think that
conservation is
a “duty” of
few team members who are attached to ecological organizations,
nature clubs and institutions.
The most common
acquaintance of “nature” is
only as a place for a day’s outing. Why is that
there are more of picnickers and less of nature lovers
seen in
various wildlife sanctuaries of India ? The
need is to cultivate a feeling of ownership to preserve
the nature from
various threats.
The urge is to communicate
more, spread the conservation message, work collectively
and try the best to make it a “survival for all ” kind
of world.
