Protected Animals of India
India's wildlife is facing innumerable theats. The last surviving population of the Asiatic lion-an animal once widespread in the country- is concentrated today in a small pocket in Gujarat. The unfortunate Indian bulforg finds itself on the menu card in many restaueants in Goa; while the Himalayan monal - the state bird of Uttarakhand-has been hunted for its colourful crest. This book features some of the known, and a few less-familiar, mammals, birds, insects, reptiles, amphibians, and other animals that are now 'protected' in India. It also relates several successful conservation intiative, and focuses on a number of organization involved in wildlife protection in the country. Through this book, we hope, we can interest you to do your bit to save India's depleting biodiversity.
