    World Wildlife Day
    Wildlife' is a term that refers to animals that are not normally domesticated. They are a living resource
    that will die and be replaced by others of their kind. Wildlife plays an important role in balancing the
    environment and provides stability to different natural processes of nature. It can be found in all
    ecosystems, desert, rainforests, plains and other areas. India's wildlife is both rich and varied, it includes
    all flora and fauna, animals, plants and macro organisms.

    Wildlife is important for its beauty, economic, scientific and survival value. It helps to maintain the
    ecological balance of nature and maintains the food chain. It provides useful substances and wild animal
    products like ivory, leather, honey, tusk etc. Besides being a country's cultural asset it also provides
    aesthetic value to man. We largely depend on wildlife for every elementary requirement in our life e.g.
    the clothes we wear and the medicines we consume.
    The animals and plants that live in the wild have an intrinsic value and contributes to the ecological, genetic,
    social, economic, scientific, educational, cultural, recreational and aesthetic aspects of human well-being and
    sustainable development.
    World Wildlife Day is an opportunity to celebrate the many beautiful and varied forms of wild fauna and
    flora and to raise awareness of the multitude of benefits that conservation provides to people. At the same time,
    the Day reminds us of the urgent need to step up the fight against wildlife crime and human induced reduction
    of species, which have wide-ranging economic, environmental and social impacts.
    Wildlife conservation encompasses all human activities and efforts directed to preserve wild
    animal from extinction it involves both protection and scientific management of wild species.
    Wildlife and nature have largely being associated which humans for numerous emotional and
    social reasons. Wildlife plays an essential role in the ecological and biological processes that are
    yet again significant to life. The normal functioning of the biosphere depends on endless
    interaction among animals, plants and micro organisms. Wildlife has occupied a special place of
    veneration and preservation in various cultures of the world.

    “Big cats: predators under threat”


    World Wildlife Day is celebrated in 2018 under the theme “Big cats: predators under threat".
    Big cats are among the most widely recognized and admired animals across the globe. However, today
    these charismatic predators are facing many and varied threats, which are mostly caused by human activities.
    Overall, their populations are declining at a disturbing rate due to loss of habitat and prey, conflicts with
    people, poaching and illegal trade. For example, tiger populations plummeted by 95% over the past 100 years
    and African lion populations dropped by 40% in just 20 years. But a range of measures are underway to arrest
    this decline.
    In an effort to reach as wide an audience as possible, the expanded definition of big cats is being used,
    which includes not only lion, tiger, leopard and jaguar -- the 4 largest wild cats that can roar - but also cheetah,
    snow leopard, puma, clouded leopard, etc. Big cat species are found in Africa, Asia, and North, Central and
    South America, representing a virtually global distribution.
    Over the past century we have been losing big cats, the planet’s most majestic predators, at an alarming
    rate. World Wildlife Day 2018 gives us the opportunity to raise awareness about their plight and to galvanize
    support for the many global and national actions that are underway to save these iconic species
    Spread the word, especially to children and youth. They are the future leaders of wildlife
    conservation and they deserve a future where we humans live in harmony with wildlife that share the planet
    with us.
