Abstract

All human endeavours to prevent the extinction of wild animals fall under the category of wildlife conservation. It entails the prudent management and preservation of untamed species within their natural habitat. Natural actions have caused the extinction of certain species. The human race has benefited from human progress throughout history, but wildlife has suffered as a result. The development of highly advanced weaponry, industry, urbanisation, and even population growth have all contributed significantly to the depletion of our abundant resources. The activities that we consider to be indicative of human progress include hunting, forest cutting, draining marshes, and damming rivers for industrial use and irrigation. The natural habitats of our wildlife have been severely diminished by these activities, and many species are now threatened or on the edge of becoming extinct. In India, environmental protection is governed by fundamental law. The Indian constitution protects everyone’s right to live in a clean environment free from pollution. Rules and regulations may require a lot of effort to implement and enforce, even if they are sound. Because of how carelessly humans utilise the environment, the sustainability of the Earth is in jeopardy. Therefore, protecting the ecosystem is crucial. As a result, every nation creates rules in addition to guidelines to protect its distinctive national environments. Our religious and cultural traditions place a high value on wildlife. There is much to be desired in the way we treat animals, especially numerous endangered species. It is recognised that protecting wildlife is nearly necessary for animal survival as well as animal well-being. Long after independence, environmental concerns about the flora and fauna came to light due to the growing loss of animals. This article addresses the judicial involvement in biodiversity and wild life conservation, as well as the measures for protecting wildlife that are established in numerous laws and citizens’ constitutional mandates
