Not many are aware of the fact that the Royal Bengal Tiger, which is today
the national animal of India, was, in 2000 BC, the emblem of the ancient
Indus Valley Civilization at Mohanjodaro, This is an interesting fact because
it emphasizes the importance of wildlife in Indian history and tradition.
In fact, myth commonly associates various animals and birds with various
Indian deities, for example The elephant (Lord Ganesh) the monkey (Hanuman)
the swan(the carrier of Goddess Saraswati), and so on,
The kind of wildlife one comes across varies according to the differences
of climate and geographical factors of each region. At one time dense forests
around Mathura and Vrindavan in the north near Delhi made an almost impenetrable
barrier between north and south India. Many of these forests have since
denuded, and there wild life has also been severely depleted.
A major contributing factor was the indulgence of British-incahoots with
local rulers-in the sport of hunting or shikar in the early part of this
century. As a result, many species faced a serious threat of extinction.
Gradually after independence, many of these hunting reserves were made protected
sanctuaries where hunting was banned, and some were further upgraded to
the status of a National Park. Efforts were made to ensure the preservation
of endangered species, Project Tiger, started in 1973, was a concentrated
effort to protect the Indian national animal.
This effort to protect the tiger also ensured the protection of the other
species in the same regions, such as the endangered species of deer-chausingha,
barasingha, nilgai, deer, these sanctuaries are a haven for myriad other
animal including the sloth beer, the leopard, the Indian otter etc. Some
of the other well known sanctuaries/national park in Assam for the Periyar\wildlife
Reserve in Kerala for the elephant India is also the home of over 2000 species
of birds. Some of these are migratory birds such as the famous Siberian
Crane, which migrates to the, Keoladeo Ghana Bird Sanctuary (at Bharatpur)
and is an extremely endan species.
