Most of our biodiversity is being lost due to human activities like logging of wood, increased agriculture, increased human habitation and pollution etc. Man has realised this mistake before it was too late. Government of India also realised the importance of wild life and initiated several programmes to preserve wild life in the country and the wild life act was passed in 1972.

Efforts towards conservation:

1. Activities leading to deforestation have been declared as illegal activities and severe punishments have been imposed. 

2. Pouching of birds and hunting their eggs are prohibited. 

3. Usage of pesticides should be minimised. Usage of biological control methods of pests should be maintained. 

4. Efforts to be made to substitude chemical fertilizers with more (natural) bio fertilizers. 

5. Pollution from the industries should be reduced.

6. Automobiles should be designed to reduce pollution. 

7. Reforestation programmes will be conducted. 

8. Gardens, parks, lakes and zoos should be developed. 

9. National parks, wild life sanctuaries, where wild life is protected, have been created. 

10. Collection, marketing and selling of forest products such as sandal wood, ivory by private parties is banned and is taken up by the Government. 

11. Construction of cell phone towers which produce radiation, should be in greater height, so that they should not be reachable to the birds.
