India's treasures of flora and
fauna are fast expanding, it won't be long before dry patches and
barren lands replace green jungles. India's mighty Himalayan are
dotted with thick tropical forests and coniferous woodlands. Kerala
and Andaman Islands, the coastal regions of India are blessed with
the most affluent rain forests arrayed with the stretches of coconut
trees. The Sunderbans are the
forests where the Ganga and the Brahmaputra rivers finish their last
lap on land before flowing into the Bay of Bengal. Thar Desert of
India shows vegetation of short and stout trees stunted by the
scorching sun. The plant kingdom is not the only endangered species.
India's rich fauna is known the world over, the great Bengal Tiger,
The great Asiatic Lion, the great one-horned-rhino, the great Indian
elephant and the long list of unending wildlife is the great source
of attraction for the tourist from all over the globe.

With the excessive consumerism
of an ever-swelling population, it is no longer possible to dismiss
terms like ‘ecology’ and ‘environment’. The need
for conservation of the environment and forests had already occurred
to Emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century B.C., and yet never
before has the call for conservation been more desperate than it is
today. The notions of growth, progress and modernisation are to be
carefully weighed for their pros and cons, in order to avoid
inheriting ecological disasters, gas leaks, inundating dams, nuclear
fallouts, bombs…the list is unending.
