Information on wildlife sanctuaries focusing on the policy of conservation of endangered species?

Wildlife Sancturies


There are 492 existing wildlife sanctuaries in India covering an area of 117,077 kms, which happens to be 3.56% of the geographical area of the country. Another 217 sanctuaries are proposed in the Protected Area Network Report covering an area of 16,670 kms. Maximum numbers of sanctuaries exist in size class less than 10 kms and there are only 2 sanctuaries, having more than 5,000 kms. The network of sanctuaries will go up to 709 after full implementation of the above report.Information on wildlife sanctuaries focusing on the policy of conservation of endangered species?
Jhnny as you have mentioned about Wild life sanctuaries of which continent you require.


Human influence over the Earth鈥檚 ecosystems has been so extensive within the last 10,000 years that scientists have difficulty estimating the total number of species lost in this era. The rates of deforestation, reef destruction, wetlands filling and other human acts are proceeding much faster than human assessment of the Earth's species. The matter of ongoing species loss is made more complex by the fact that most of the Earth's species have not been described or evaluated for endangerment. Overpopulation of humans on the Earth has been the main threat. With overpopulation comes mass agriculture, deforestation, overgrazing, slash and burn urban development, pesticide use and global warming. An endangered species is a population of an organism which is at risk of becoming extinct because it is few in numbers and/or is threatened by changing environment. Many countries have laws offering protection to these species.





Wildlife conservation societies can be local, regional, national or global. They can be private or government run and almost every country across the world has its share of environmental activism. Wildlife environmentalists fall into three different groups: Dark, Light and Bright Greens. Light Greens see protecting the environment as a personal responsibility. They do not seek fundamental political reform, but instead focus on environmentalism as a lifestyle choice. In contrast, Dark Greens believe that environmental problems are an inherent part of industrialized capitalism and they seek radical political change. Bright Greens, the most recent group to develop, believe that radical changes are needed in the economic and political operation of society in order to make it sustainable, but that better designs, new technologies and more widely distributed social innovations are the means to make those changes.








I am going to give my country's description:


National Parks


As per the National Wildlife Database of July 2004, there are 92 national parks in India spreading over an area of 38,570 kms, which happens to be 1.17% of the geographical area of the country. In addition to the above, 74 national parks covering an area of 16,630 kms are proposed in the Protected Area Network Report. The network of parks will go up to 166 after full implementation of the above report. Maximum numbers of parks exist in size class less than 100-500 kms and there are 7 parks, having more than 5,000 kms.





Wildlife Sancturies


There are 492 existing wildlife sanctuaries in India covering an area of 117,077 kms, which happens to be 3.56% of the geographical area of the country. Another 217 sanctuaries are proposed in the Protected Area Network Report covering an area of 16,670 kms. Maximum numbers of sanctuaries exist in size class less than 10 kms and there are only 2 sanctuaries, having more than 5,000 kms. The network of sanctuaries will go up to 709 after full implementation of the above report.





Biosphere Reserves


The programme of Biosphere Reserve was initiated under the 'Man %26amp; Biosphere' (MAB) programme by UNESCO in 1971. The purpose of the formation of the biosphere reserve is to conserve in-situ all forms of life, along with its support system, in its totality, so that it could serve as a referral system for monitoring and evaluating changes in natural ecosystems. The first biosphere reserve of the world was established in 1979, since then the network of biosphere reserves has increased to 425 in 95 countries across the world (MAB, 2003). Presently, there are 13 existing biosphere reserves in India.





Tiger Reserves


Project Tiger was launched by the Government of India in the year 1973 to save the endangered species of tigers in the country. Starting from nine reserves in 1973-74, the number has grown up to twenty seven in 1999-2000. These project tiger areas cover a total area of 37,761 kms, which happens to be 1.15% of the total geographical area of the country. The estimated tiger population in these reserves was approximately 1,500 and the total population within the country was nearly 4,000 in 1992.
