Wild Life Packages India has a rich heritage of wildlife as well as a long history and tradition of conservation. India is also unique in the richness and variety of wildlife. There are about 350 species of mammals, 2000 species of birds, 500 species of reptiles, more than 25,000 insects and lesser forms, about 2500 species of fish and other marine creatures. In India, different animals are associated with different Gods and are thus provided with religious sanctity, which generally ensure conservation. All religions of ancient India provided respect for nature and exhorted people to conserve nature. The love and regard for wildlife is a part of Indian culture. But due to increase in population and demand for land for industrialization, hydro electro projects, urbanization and agriculture, the wildlife habitats and the forests are being destroyed.
Some of the species of wildlife, which are under threat of existence, are the Indian hunting cheetah, Royal Bengal tiger, the Asiatic lion, Hangul deer of Kashmir, Swamp deer, Black buck, etc. Among birds and reptiles pink headed duck, the mountain quail and Jerdon’s courser, Great Indian Bustard, Gangetic Gharial, Marsh mugger, and Estuarine Crocodile have all reached a point of near extinction. The main reaction for extinction is mainly imputed to man more specifically to man’s demographic and technological expansion. Some species have been wantonly destroyed as a part of commercial exploitation like the one horned Rhinoceros, Elephant, Musk deer, Tiger, etc.,
