Wildlife conservation efforts in south Asia and the success met?

south asian countries - India, pakistan, bangladesh and nepalWildlife conservation efforts in south Asia and the success met?
The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) does a lot of work in this region. Just go to wwf.org. They have separate web pages for Pakistan, India, and Nepal.





Pakistan-The woolly flying squirrel (Eupetaurus cinereus) was once thought be be extinct in Pakistan. The WWF has established critical habitat in th Sai valley %26amp; is working to establish protected areas.





India- The WWF worked with famers in the Bardia district to plant mentha on their farmland instead of wheat and maize, which animals like rhinos and elephants eat or destroy. Mentha works as a natural fence, keeping wild animals off the farmland because they don't like it. The mentha has a good market value. One farmer earned Rs.16,000 in just 4 months. This practical solution has kept an unknown number of endangered animals from being killed.





Nepal- WWF's efforts to conserve the Greater one-horned rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) in Nepal have brought the rhinoceros from the brink of extinction to the second largest population in the world (123 breeding pairs).





I have seen a lot of question similar to yours. Is this for homework, a school project, or just because you wanted to know? I am just curious.Wildlife conservation efforts in south Asia and the success met?
