NATURAL VEGETATION BY SANYA CHAUHAN

NATURAL VEGETATION &WILDLIFE & CONSERVATION
Natural vegetation refers to a plant community which has grown naturally without human aid and has been left undisturbed by humans for a long time. This is termed as virgin vegetation. Thus, cultivated crops and fruits, orchards form part of vegetation but not natural vegetation.The nature of the plants in an area, to a large extent, determines the animal life in that area. When the vegetation is altered, the animal life also changes. All the plants and animals in an area are interdependent and interrelated to each other in their physical environment, thus, forming an ecosystem. Human beings are also an integral part of the ecosystem. A very large ecosystem on land having distinct types of vegetation and animal life is called a biome. The biomes are identified on the basis of plants.
Conservation is about protecting natural habitats; therefore, conserving natural vegetation will require protection of the area where vegetation is growing. It's wise to remember that all threats to natural vegetation are not human or man-made - sometimes, other animals and pests can feast on vegetation, reducing it to a veritable "Swiss cheese' of holes. Therefore, gentle, environmentally-friendly pesticides and insecticides may be needed to control infestations and deter animals from munching on natural vegetation. Sometimes, cordoning off an area and making it more difficult for people to access can also be an effective way to protect and conserve an area.Weather can wreak havoc on natural vegetation, so covering plant life with tarps or other protection may be necessary before severe storms or rainfalls. Ice and frost also kill plants, so thermal solutions may be needed - consider a greenhouse, where cuttings of natural vegetation can be planted and tended to. A greenhouse is a controlled environment that tends to provide plant life with more than adequate heat and light. If you're taking cuttings, remember to study the plants you will be caring for - after all, if you can't keep them alive, you've defeated the purpose, which is to conserve natural vegetation.
WILDLIFE
Wildlife traditionally refers to non-domesticated animal species, but has come to include all plants, fungi and other organism which grow or live wild in an area without being introduced by humans. Domesticating wild plant and animal species for human benefit has occurred many times all over the planet, and has a major impact on the environment, both positive and negative.
Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems. Deserts, forests, rain forests, plains, grasslands, and other areas including the most developed urban sites, all have distinct forms of wildlife. While the term in popular culture usually refers to animals that are untouched by human factors, most scientists agree that wildlife around is affected by human activities.
India is home to many National parks and Wildlife sanctuaries within diversity of its wildlife, much of its unique fauna and excels in the range. There are 89 national parks, 13 Bio reserves and 400+ wildlife sanctuaries across India are the best places to go to for a visual treat of tigers, lions, elephants, rhinoceros, birds, and even more which reflect the importance that the country places on nature and wildlife conservation.

Our wildlife tours offer unparalleled excitement, unforgettable journey and nature tours that you can enjoy everlastingly. If you'd plan a trip for yourself, your family, or a group of friends the wildlife of India can help you from beginning to end.

Wildlife conservation is a practice in which people attempt to protect endangered plant and animal species, along with their habitats. The goal is to ensure that nature will be around for future generations to enjoy, and to recognize the importance of wildlife and wilderness lands to humans. Many nations have government agencies dedicated to this practice, and they can help to implement policies designed to protect wildlife. There are also many independent nonprofit organizations that promote various conservation causes.
A number of different disciplines are involved in wildlife conservation. In order to practice it, people must use biology and other sciences to identify populations that are at risk, and to study those populations to learn more about their needs. Economics often becomes involved when organizations work to set land aside for the use of wildlife, with conservationists attempting to arrive at efficient land-use solutions. The field also relies heavily on education, using outreach programs to teach people about wildlife and to show people why conserving natural habitats is important.
