• Forests are home to variety of wildlife. There are thousands of
animals and a large variety birds, insects etc. which dwell in
the forests. Tiger is our national animal. Ger forest in Gujarat
is the home of Asiatic lions. Elephants are found in Kerala.
Peacock is our national bird. But due to cutting of forests and
hunting , several species of wildlife of India are declining. In
order to protect them many national parks, sanctuaries etc
have been set up. You can also contribute in consvering
wildlife. You can refuse to buy things made from parts of the
bodies of animals such as their bones, fur, skin etc. Every year
we observe wildlife week in the first week of October, to
create awareness of consvering the habitats of animals. Some
T.V channels started the campaign SAVE THE TIGER.
