4 Largest Wildlife Conservation Project in India

4 Largest Wildlife Conservation Project in India

India has had an ignorant attitude toward the environment and environmental preservation. This ignorant attitude has led to much of the damage that India has procured over the years. Nature is hugely exploited in our land and there are no two ways about it. The government, for a long time, didn't do anything to heal the damage that was done. It was after much outrage from many environmental activists that the government began to undertake wildlife preservation or conservation projects.

Over the past decade, a lot has changed. The environment has become an election issue now and there is a lot more awareness of our environment and Global warming in India. Even a lot of common citizens are aware of their duty towards the environment. The biggest example is that of the Aarey forest in Maharashtra. The famous Aarey in Mumbai is one of the few green areas left in the city. In 2020, the government of Maharashtra decided to pass a metro line through Aarey and that led to a huge public outcry. After a huge protest and online outrage, the government had to shift the metro line to a different area. This was completely done by the common citizens. So there definitely has been a huge change in the attitude of the public. Let's now look at the 4 largest Wildlife Conservation projects in India.

India's wildlife is governed by legal provisions

The citizens of India have a fundamental duty to safeguard wildlife and show compassion for all living things under Article 51A(g) of the Constitution of India, 1950. In addition, Article 48A stipulates that it is the responsibility of the State to defend and seek to improve the nation's forests and wildlife. The Constitution's Concurrent List, or Schedule VII List III, includes the subject of protecting wild animals and birds. This shows that the subject can be governed by both the Union and the State Government.

Regulation of Wildlife through International Treaties

The improvement of wildlife conservation may benefit from the use of international wildlife legislation. For the conservation of wildlife, there are numerous national and international instruments. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS), the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), and others are a few of them.
