Why adopt wild Animals and Birds
Roar of a magnificent tiger, leaping of a deer, call of red jungle fowl,
melodious song of a nightangle, beautiful dance of a peacock, chirping of birds: all
these were the common scenes for ‘Incredible India’. However, due to the shrinkage and
degradation of habitat and poaching of wildlife; many animals and birds have either become
endangered or are likely to become so. Some of them have even become extinct. Wild animals and birds
are the part and parcel of Indian culture and traditions. They are associated with Gods and
Goddesses. If the present rate of degradation and shrinkage of habitat continues, the day is not
far off when wild animals and birds will be lost forever; and we will be left only with their
photographs.
Wildlife is essential for human welfare. We can’t live without them. Hence, wildlife
has to be protected at all costs. Government efforts are not sufficient and it is the
responsibility of all citizens of India to contribute towards protecting and conserving this
unique wealth of India. There is an urgent need to create love and attachment towards
wild animals and birds by creating awareness in the public. One way by which one can contribute
in the noble cause of protecting this heritage of India and the unique
gift of nature, is by adopting an animal/bird.
Captain Ajay Singh Yadav , Minister for Finance,
Irrigation and Forest & Environment is the first person in Haryana to adopt a
Black Buck in Pipli Zoo for one year.
