As per the IUCN Red List (2018), there are 75 critically endangered and 60 endangered animals in India. Wildlife in our country is confronting the danger of extinction because of illegal trading, excessive poaching, pollution, loss of habitat and deforestation. Our team felt that despite some major government initiatives, importance of wildlife conservation hasn’t been widely recognized. We wanted to have a better understanding of wildlife conservation scenario in our country and has the immense pleasure of Dr. Sonali Ghosh enlightening us about the same.
