A call to protect India’s critically endangered species
- 1. Habitat Loss: Rapid urbanization, industrialization, and deforestation are leading to the loss of critical habitats for endangered species.
- 2. Poaching and Illegal Wildlife Trade: Demand for exotic animals, body parts, and products from endangered species fuels illegal trade activities.
- 3. Human-Wildlife Conflict: Encroachment on wildlife habitats often leads to conflicts between humans and endangered species, resulting in harm to both.
- 4. Climate Change: Changing climatic conditions pose threats to the survival and adaptation of endangered species in their natural habitats.
- 5. Lack of Awareness and Conservation Efforts: Insufficient awareness among the public and inadequate conservation measures hinder protection efforts for critically endangered species in India.
