2. INTRODUCTION
✔ The main aim of making this project is to create awareness among the
people living in the modern society that how our advanced technology
deteriorating our natural beauty .
✔ 3079 animals and 2655 plants are Endangered worldwide as per latest
report .
✔ In this project we come to know how the species such as animals, plants
and birds reach the line of extinction , what are the basic problems and
what measures are taken by the government and by common people to
protect these species from extinctions.

3. ECOLOGICAL BALANCE
➢ The regions based on organisms physical and biological natural
habitat are classified into ecosystems.
➢ For example, pond ecosystem, evergreen ecosystem, etc.
➢ They are dependent on the environment for their needs, are also
dependent on each other especially for food. This results in the
presence of food chains and food webs.
➢ The food chains and other such interrelationships in the
ecosystems create a balance in the environment that is called the
ECOLOGICAL BALANCE .

4. ECOLOGICAL IMBALANCE
➢ Due to the growth of interaction between man and the environment over
the last decades , depletion and degradation of natural environment
bringing in a dangerous environmental imbalance in the man
environment system known as ECOLOGICAL IMBALANCE.
➢ To avoid the ecological imbalance in nature, we should take following
steps :
1. Social Equity and Peace
2. Appropriate Development
3. Conservation
4. Sustainable Development

5. ENDANGERED SPECIES
 SPARROW
It is known by the name of state bird of Delhi which is going to
be extinct from our world due to lack of nesting sites due to
modern architecture of building, lack of seed food, insect food
and proliferation of cell phone towers.

6. MAJOR PROBLEMS :
● ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANTS- Many toxic chemicals are now
added continuously to the natural environment, either as
pesticides, industrial effluents or combustion emission chemicals
are now regarded as important agents of wildlife population
declines.
● FOOD AVAILABILITY- Food shortage can affect individuals
directly, through causing breeding failure or starvation depend on
the stage at which they occur, effects of food shortages can be
seen through non-laying of eggs, small clutches, egg desertion,
survival and a reduction in the number of nesting attempts.
● DISEASE
The infectious disease salmonella is common during winter and
spring in free-living wild House sparrow.
● LACK OF NEST SITES-
A lack of holes suitable for nest sites on modern or renovated
buildings has been proposed as a possible cause of the House
Sparrow population decline.

7. MEASURES TAKEN BY GOVERNMENT TO SAVE SPARROWS
1. DELHI CHEIF MINISTER SHEILA DIKSHIT NAMES HOUSE
SPARROW AS STATE BIRD- launched a 'rise of the sparrows' campaign.
"This will be India's largest conservation movement to save the sparrows,"
Dikshit said.
2. SAVE OUR SPARROWS -World Sparrow Day is celebrated on March 20.
The rationale for celebrating World Sparrow Day to highlight the need to
conserve sparrows as well as urban biodiversity.
TIGER
●
The tiger is the largest cat species, reaching a total body length of up to 3.3 m
and weighing up to 306 kg. Its most recognizable feature is a pattern of dark
vertical stripes on reddish- orange fur with a lighter underside .

8. TIGER
Scientific name: Panthera Tigris
Lifespan: 20 – 26 y (In captivity)
Speed: 49 – 65 km/h (Adult,
In Short Bursts)
Height: 70 – 122 cm
(At Shoulder, Adult)
Lower classifications:
Siberian Tiger, Caspian tiger
Mass: 0.7 – 1.4 kg (Newborn),
65 – 167 kg (Female, Adult), 90 – 306 kg (Male, Adult)
Length: 250 – 390 cm (Male, Adult), 200 – 275 cm (Female, Adult)

9. ➢ MAJOR PROBLEMS
1. HABITAT LOSS AND PREY DEPLETION -Tigers decline in numbers
because of habitat loss and prey depletion rather than being killed directly. A
tiger needs to eat about 50 deer-sized animals or 6,600 pounds of living prey
every year.
2. ILLEGAL WILDLIFE TRADE- According to Interpol $32 billion was the
value of illegal wildlife trade in the world in 2011. In 2011 alone till October
48 tiger deaths were reported in India.
3. RUSH OF TOURISTS- Tourism is another factor for decline in tiger
numbers. As the flow of tourists increases demand for more accommodation,
roads, highways, electricity and water supply also increases. This results in
cutting down of trees , restricting the free movement of animals from one
forest area to another.

10. 4. DEGRADATION OF HABITATS- The territory occupied by the tiger has
declined more than 50 per cent during the last three generations . Government
of India has declared it will resettle around 50,000 families from 762 villages
in the core areas of 39 tiger reserves in the country, but the pace of the process
is very slow.
➢ MEASURES TAKEN BY GOVERNMENT TO SAVE TIGERS
1.SAVE OUR TIGER BY AIRCEL- It Is a Step which was introduced
almost 4 decades ago to reduce the Poaching and killing of tigers. There
Are only 1411 tigers left in India.
2. LEAVE ME ALONE- Bittu Sahgal, founder of Sanctuary Asia, with 2.7
million supporters, have come together to save India's iconic national
animal, the tiger to make clear to the public the crucial role the tiger
plays in protecting forests.

11. POLYGALA IRREGULARIS
(MILKWORT)
➢ Gujarat's commonly known Milkwort is an annual herb .
➢ The plants are found at an altitude of 1000 meters.
➢ The flowers are found in blue ,near white ,pink and white in color.
✔ MAJOR PROBLEMS FOR MILKWORT :
1. POLLUTION-Industrial, agricultural and waste-based pollutants can have
catastrophic effects on many species. In developing countries approximately 90% of
wastewater is discharged, untreated, directly into waterways.
2. HABITAT DESTRUCTION- The human population was approximately 600,000
million in 1700. Just now it exceeds six billion, and low estimates are that it may reach
12 billion by 2100. The question is whether many ecological aspects of biological
systems can be sustained under the pressure of such numbers.

12. 3. GLOBAL WARMING- The continuous emmition of CO2 in the
environment has rapidly increasing the problem of global warming . Duet to
this most of the plants species die due to high temperature and low availability
of water .
4. FOREST FRAGMENTATION -The fragmentation of forests is a general
consequence of the haphazard logging and agricultural land conversion which
is occurring everywhere, but especially in tropical forests.
MEASURES TAKEN BY GOVERNMENT TO SAVE MILKWORT :
1 . Ensuring lesser human and animal activities in milkwort rich areas .
2. Planting the genetic seeds at other favorable places where environmental
changes can't effect it's population.
3. Making similar genetic species which reacts strongly towards the
common diseases.

13. CONCLUSION
✔ To judiciously use the resources that are available in plenty and
protect them from unsustainable development. Than only we can
think of a ecologically balanced Ecosystem with a plenty of
enhanced wildlife with respect to the current situation.
✔ Also we have to increase awareness about the concept of
sustainable development and ensure that people understand it's
meaning.
✔ Every individual has to make his actions eco-friendly. He should
realize that because he is at the pinnacle of evolution and has
more responsibility towards maintaining the environment.
