Wildlife Conservation Efforts in India Introduction The Indian subcontinent boasts of serving as the natural habitat of a large and varied wildlife. The sub-continent with its varied geographical spread from the Himalayas in the north to the Cauvery basin in the south and the Kutch region in the west to the plains of Assam in East present a diverse range of environmental conditions for some of the most magnificent as well as the rarest wildlife species of the world in India to exist.

However‚ cheetahs can range throughout any open country‚ from savannah to scrubland to desert‚ wherever there is adequate prey for them to survive. Today the Southwestern African country of Namibia is home to one of the largest populations of cheetah in all of Africa. Cheetahs were once found all throughout Africa‚ and in large parts of

consequence of soil degradation. Desertification is the gradual transformation of habitable land into desert. It is caused by climate change and improper use of land. The soil becomes more degraded and has less nutrients and it can’t support vegetation and therefore turns to desert. It is a problem in the Sahara Desert and Kalahari Desert. What makes soil degradation a significant threat in the Kalahari Desert is that it is nutrient deficient and subsistence farming. Political changes such as disrupted communal

Primary Succession 6/5/03 M-DCC / PCB 2340C 7 Secondary Succession • SECONDARY SUCCESSION begins in habitats where communities were entirely or partially destroyed by some kind of damaging event. • When an existing community has been cleared by a disturbance such as a fire‚ tornado‚ etc...and the soil remains intact‚ the area begins to return to its natural community. Because these habitats previously supported life‚ secondary succession‚ unlike primary

evolve to form new taxa. Pre-continental drift theory‚ it was believed that species originated in a particular area‚ and spread out from there to colonise new habitats. However‚ it was noted that on a worldwide scale many taxa had obvious close relatives in regions that were geographically widely separated with natural barriers i.e.; oceans‚ deserts or mountain chains. Therefore‚ continental drift theory was able to explain many previously unanswered questions. An example of this is Nothofagus. Nothofagus

for in the deserts. The only problem now is that they are endangered. They have been hunted heavily by man for sport‚ skins‚ and as a source of traditional medical products. At the beginning of this century it is estimated that there were over 40‚000 tigers‚ today the number is less than 8‚000. The risk of extinction forced the government of India to initiate the ’Project Tiger ’ in April 1973‚ when the tiger population was less than 2000. The main threats to tigers are poaching‚ habitat loss and
