Abstract

The number of fauna whose existence is threatened is increasing per year at an alarming rate due to various human and natural activities. Absence of shelter to wild animals due 10 deforestation for cultivation, dam construction, road building, railway routes, for urbanization and due to various natural calamities such as flood, droughts, fire, epidemics and hunting of all kinds for any purpose i.e. for food, hide, plumage, fur, Lusk, horn, musk etc. have caused destruction of wild life through reduction in areas for free movement resulting in retardation of reproductive capacity of certain wild animals like deer, tiger, bison, Rhino and so on. Conservation of dams and reservoir alleys microclimate and ads in loss of vegetation area, soil erosion and enhances seismic activities due to pressure of water. Blasting operation for road conservation in hilly areas also cause considerable drainage to environment through loosening of hill side resulting in landslides. Thus under such adverse circumstances, it is the need of the time is 10 conserve the environment and biodiversity.

Keywords: zoo, captive breeding, conservation, extinction
