BACKGROUND:

A. Habitat: an area with the combination of resources (food, cover, and water) that allows for a species to survive.

B. Habitat requirements vary by species• Generalist species• Specialist species• Migratory species

Page 3: PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE ANIMALS.pptx

GENERALIST SPECIES (DEFINED)

Generalist species are common and widely distributed; they can usually tolerate a range of climates, have broad dietary and nesting/breeding needs, and can adapt fairly well to humans.

Page 4: PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE ANIMALS.pptx

GENERALIST SPECIES EXAMPLES:

White-tailed deer Coyote

Page 5: PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE ANIMALS.pptx

SPECIALIST SPECIES (DEFINED) Specialist species are usually limited

by a narrow habitat, either by preference, tolerance of habitat destruction; characteristics include tolerating a limited climate range, need for specific diets and/or breeding/nesting sites an an inability to adapt to humans.

Page 7: PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE ANIMALS.pptx

MIGRATORY SPECIES (DEFINED) Migratory species are animals that

periodically or regularly move from one area to another for the purposes of breeding, food forage, and/or to avoid extreme climatic conditions; migratory patterns can range from thousands of miles to less than 30, depending on the species.

THREATS TO WILDLIFE:A. Habitat Fragmentation and LossB. Conflict over habitat managementC. Human Disturbance of wildlifeD. Recreational disturbancesE. Poaching is the illegal killing of wildlife

Page 11: PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE ANIMALS.pptx

HABITAT FRAGMENTATION AND LOSS

1.Fragmentation is the severe subdivision of once continuous habitat areas.

2.Land development causes habitat fragmentations

3. Fragmentation can result in an out-right loss of habitat as well as blocking migration routes.

Page 12: PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE ANIMALS.pptx

CONFLICT OVER HABITAT MANAGEMENT

Rights of private land owners regularly conflict with the concept of conservation and ecosystem management.

One exception to this rule is in an endangered species case, the land owner is obligated by law to conserve the species

Page 13: PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE ANIMALS.pptx

HUMAN DISTURBANCE OF WILDLIFE

Many species dependent on wilderness are unable to handle human

interaction. Some wilderness-dependent species

become aggressive when they come into human contact.

Some species elect to move when they come into contact with humans.

Sometimes this is not possible

Page 14: PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE ANIMALS.pptx

RECREATIONAL DISTURBANCES

Campers, hikers, fisherman, boaters, atvs all impact the environment.

Recreational users need to respect the land.

Some activities ( hunting, fishing) are prohibited in sensitive areas.

Page 15: PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE ANIMALS.pptx

POACHING: THE ILLEGAL KILLING Poaching-killing protected

species,killing out of season, hunting in protected areas, killing animals protected by sex or size, killing animals by illegal methods, or illegal collection of specimens

WILDLIFE ANIMALS PROTECTION MEASURES:

Habitat Management Habitat Management refers to taking care

of the habitat of the wildlife, so that they feel at home, safe and secure. Study of different kind of habitats, devising ways of protecting it, its preservation and regular checking of these habitats through census and statistical data help a great deal in working out a plan of action in managing a habitat and the species therein.

HABITAT CREATION: National Park Biosphere Reserve Sanctuary Zoological Parks Botanical Gardens

REINTRODUCTION Several endangered species were allowed to

flourish in places and habitats that suited them. These places were similar to their original habitats. Later, they were introduced to protected areas such as parks and reserves and also to their original habitats after they were found fit to fight for survival.

Page 19: PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE ANIMALS.pptx

PROTECTION BY LAW:

Wild Life (Protection) Act 1972: As per this act, prior permission from competent

authorities is essential before tampering with wild life and poaching is punishable under law.

Page 20: PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE ANIMALS.pptx

Wildlife Protection Amendment Act 1991 :

Making punishments more stringent. Also made provisions for the protection

of Endangered species of wild Animals

Page 21: PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE ANIMALS.pptx

SPECIAL SCHEMES:PROJECT TIGER(1973): Main objective is to ensure

maintanance of viable population of tigers in india for scientific,asthetic,cultural and ecological values.

Initially launched in 9 Tiger reserves but now increased to 27 Tiger reserves in 17 states.

PROJECT ELEPHANT(1992): It is being implemented in 13 states. Aims at ensuring long term survival of

identified viable population of elephants in their natural habitat.

AWARENESS AND MASS EDUCATION:

Awareness about wild life is essential

for protecting and appreciating them. People can be encouraged and educated to participate in the preservation processes in a number of ways.

Page 26: PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE ANIMALS.pptx

SOME OF THE WAYS OF INCREASING AWARENESS LEVELS ON WILD LIFE ARE:Celebrating different days dedicated to different species of wildlife. Bringing publicity to this issue through media, film shows, talks, discussions and documentaries. Arranging tours for people and children to seminars and lectures and to areas with wild life such as the local zoo.Making children participate through nature clubs in educational institutions and at community level.Publishing and promoting books and journals on wild life. Supporting the establishment of natural history museums.

Page 27: PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE ANIMALS.pptx

CONCLUSION: We should be aware, read, talk and participate in

wild life protection measures as much as we can as we live in inter-dependence with them in various ecosystems and wild life is also a heritage that deserves to be protected like other heritages of the world.
