What are the major wildlife species inhabiting Indian wildlife
Tiger Reserve? |
|
India is renowned for its tigers, elephants and rhinoceroses,
but these are just three of the more than 500 species of mammals
living in the country. India is blessed with over 2000 species
and sub-species of birds. The diverse bird life of the forests
includes Hornbills, Serpent Eagles and fishing owls, as well
as elegant national bird, The Peacock. Water birds such as Herons,
Ibises, Storks, Cranes, Pelicans and others, are not only seen
in the parks but numerous special water bird sanctuaries. These
sanctuaries contain large breeding colonies, and are of great
importance for the countless numbers of migrating birds, which
visit India annually. India offers an array of National parks
and sanctuaries where you can watch the magnificent tigers,
the stately elephants, leopards, the one horned rhinos, a myriad
of exotic birds and countless reptiles and insects.

of tigers. These reserves were founded under the aegis of Project
Tiger, a joint effort of the Government of India and World Wide
Fund for Nature (WWF). Now it is a Govt. of India endeavour.

| 5. Which Indian wildlife
sanctuaries and Tiger
Reserve have been chosen
as World Heritage Site by UNESCO? |
|
Manas Tiger Reserve
|
| 6.What
can I do to save the tiger ? |
|
In saving the tiger from extinction you are not just saving
one animal species but a whole ecosystem.The tiger is the King
of all the forests of Asia and to save him you have to save
everything he rules over, in other words,his kingdom. The tiger
depends on the forest and in turn the forest depends on the
tiger. If the tiger becomes extinct, all other flora and fauna
will quickly go the same way. The tiger is the finest symbol
of the Earth's natural heritage, one that has been admired and
respected for a millennia. If we can not stop ourselves from
destroying this most magnificent creature on this planet,then
surely we can not save ourselves from the same fate. Please
say "NO" to tiger parts and tiger skin , save water. Always
protect the flora and fauna around you and be kind to animals.
|
| 7. Are elephant and jeep safaris possible in
Indian wildlife Tiger
Reserve ? |
|
Elephant and jeep safaris are possible in most of the tropical
wildlife sanctuaries of India. In fact, elephants are the most
preferred and convenient way of watching wildlife species in
their natural surroundings. It is easier for the pachyderms
to navigate around in the thick bushes and give you the closest
views of your favorite.
|
| 8. Are there any specialized wildlife tour packages
for Indian wildlife sanctuaries? |
|
You can get exclusive wildlife packages on India from tourism
sites, your online tour operator. Our wildlife tour packages
are well researched and give you the full liberty of enjoying
the exotic flora and fauna of India in serene surroundings.
