We are not serious about saving Wildlife/Environment

Great points were stated above already, let me say my opinion here.

Instead of doing awareness program, directly we can do actions and steps for deforestation and related issues too with the help of welfare trusts we can make it possible, if you are really lover of the nature and if you really need to gift this nature to your kids.

Thank you.

Hi.

Absolutely, we are not take so much care for saving wildlife. Because many of us have not time to save our-self, then how can we take time to spend with wildlife. So, the government can take much more steps to improve the wildlife/Environment and as individual we support government for saving wildlife.

We need to contribute some money for wildlife sanctuaries and haven't destroy forests or hunt animals.

Thank you.

Dear friends, according to my opinion we should control our population which is increasing day by day. Due to deforestation we are not live naturally as tree cut then animals out and then they destroy one day definitely so natural balance damage. Due to deforestation rains not occur in proper time and soil erosion in hilly area we know uttarakhand tragedy recently, actually it is man made disaster. In Uttarakhand many lives end due to human interference with nature.

My dear friends, recently we all know about Durga Shakti Nagpal case which is related with sand mining. If we sand mining then soil erosion occurs and nature disbalance.

We are educated then its our duty to educate people of our country to protect forest and and tree ripe. Many disadvantage of deforestation is global warming, soil erosion, floods etc.

We have to learn in natural way like don't unnecessary open ac, fridge, private vehicle if public transport is there which is also good like metro, dtc busses etc.

Thanking you.

Hi guys! we use forests for our gain and we our self destroy the forests then how would our next generation lead their life and what about the life of wildlife and our selves so, lets promise to lower down the rate of cutting trees and higher the rate of plantation in our environment no one from the universe will come to save it dear friends it's our responsibility to save our earth by planting more and more number of trees. So, what are we looking for ? lets start the good job from now. Thanking you.

Yes I totally agree to the topic and I also regret to this topic.

India. Once a green land were located larger number of forests now-a-days are replaced by concrete forests.

In order to preserve wildlife and environment following steps. Should be undertaken:

1). Government should organize an offer for construction companies to take the sand free from the forest land in this way it way give birth to the increase of lakes and ponds and automatically in monsoon those areas from where the sand has been taken will become lakes due to which there will be no shortage of water for us, animals &plants there would be a lot of forest land in our country food production will increase. Food will be available at lesser prices.

2). All the rare species should be injected with transmitter and forest department should take care of them from time to time, the newborns should be taken and released to the safe area where they are safe from predators.

YES, I totally agree with this topic "we are not serious about saving wildlife/environment". Even our govt is also not serious about it.

Because of this today people in Uttarakhand are suffering from the natural disaster.

In place of develop the environment people are misusing the environment and government is making money.

We have think with open mind about this issue.

It is right if we run car, trucks on landslide sensitive area.

It is right if we use transport means for small distance which make air polluted.

The present popular mindset points to a very disturbing and disappointing feature which, inter alia, consists of a conspicuous apathy and callousness in so far as issues involving protection or conservation of wildlife or saving environment are concerned. This is terribly a unique trend in the third world countries and particularly in the Indian subcontinent. This is despite the existence of a plethora of statutes and legislations and the consistent rise of environmental activism over the last few decades.

Environmental consciousness is a subject which requires an awareness level that is not easily obtainable in a country like India where, in general, the educational level of the masses is abysmally low. However, the tradition and heritage of the country has placed empathy for other creatures and reverence to the 'Mother Earth' as a very high ideal to be followed in the day to day life. Yet, through centuries this noble value has been watered down thanks to endless waves of alien cultures invading this ancient land from across its cultural borders.

In more recent past, this land has been subjugated to a mighty foreign power which has been responsible for tremendous loot and plundering of its natural resources with an utter disregard for its fragile and sensitive environment. This mindless exploitation of nature has cast such an abominable indifference and cruelty in the mindset of the Indians as regards wildlife as well as general environmental matters that hitherto they have failed to come out of that mental bondage and slavery. This has been the case in spite of the influence of the personalities like Tagore and Gandhi.

After independence the situation has not changed at all. With the pursuit of a goal of economic development that imbibed the models of the west relying on heavy industries, the concerns over environmental safety only occupied a back seat, if at all. It only as late as 1972, when the first international summit conference on environment took place at stockholm, the political authority of the land felt some need to do something in this regard. Hence, the introduction of a few statutes on forests and wildlife.

Even since then, the scenario did not change much; however, in the meantime the nation had witnessed the initiation of a new brand of movement in older Gandhian fashion, one notable amongst such was the Chipko movement carried out in the kumaon region of the Himalayas. The later years also experienced new waves of such movements and emergence of personalities who took leading roles in them. The silent valley movement was notable among them. But sadly enough, the momentum was candidly lacking and soon the public life was getting the bad and undesired effects of such callous attitude and mindless and reckless negligence and utter disregard of social commitments and responsibilities of the big business, politicians, bureaucrats and above all, people in general. And no wonder the nation had to pay a hefty price very soon as one of the fiercest industrial mishaps in the history the environmental disasters all over the world shook the nation on the 3rd December, 1984 at Bhopal, the capital city of the state of Madhya pradesh.

However, it appeared that the nation had learnt a very little lesson from a disaster of such an enormous magnitude as continuous negligence and culpable carelessness had got to be a routine affair though efforts to curb this disturbing trend also gained strength with regularity thanks to the guts and initiatives of people like Medha Patekar, Vandana Shiva, Anil Agarwal etc. And the culmination of such efforts could be experienced through the events like the Narmada bachao Andolon which captured public attention and sympathy. With the onset of economic liberalisation more emphasis has been given to GDP growth and thus sacrificing, inter alia, environmental safeguards. It is, thanks to the efforts of the Environmentalists and the activists and the role sometimes played by the judiciary that all has not been lost by now.

Yet, the country has witnessed few major environmental disasters during the last decade ; not only India but also the neighbouring countries in this sub-continent have suffered great losses owing to environmental mishaps. One may consider the case of the after-effects of Tsunami in the Indian peninsula which could have been lessened had the mangroves in the coastal areas had been kept in tact; the same could be said in relation to the Mumbai flood in 2005 and the damages resulting from cyclone Aila that ravaged the coastal areas of West Bengal and cyclone Ceder that caused havoc in the coastal areas of Bangladesh and Myanmar, the earthquake that ravaged Sikkim a couple of years back, one of the main reasons of which was attributable to the building of dams in the high altitude, the recent cloud bursts in Ladakh and Uttranchal, the devastating flood in Pakistan in the last year, the avalanche in the Sweti river in Nepal etc.

It is not only the sudden disasters but also the chronic climatic changes have been contributing to many factors that may affect our lives slowly but persistently in severe ways (one may consider continual floods, droughts and consequent agricultural damages and consequent food crisis, warming in the atmosphere harming crop productivity, pestilence, health problems due to adverse climate causing lower productivity and thus loss in income and so on). And not only the humans but also the other forms of life will be adversely affected and the resultant effect on the biodiversity will jeopardise the entire web of life in the globe, if it has not already been under threat. One may, therefore, logically wonders what type of growth in economic terms the policy-makers are contemplating and for whose benefits! Will they be able to sustain the temporary gains in the longer-run? It seems, however, that the chance is very bleak.

Unless the present trend is checked or reversed the result will be an utter mess- economically, socially, politically and ecologically. The death-knell for this ancient and true civilisation would then remain only a matter to be awaited.

Yes I do agree with this. Actually we are the only reason responsible for this. In this fast paced life we are so busy that we don't about our environment. Today everything comes in our door step, so we become so lazy that even if the dustbin is present in front of us still we throw the waste anywhere on the road. We are using private vehicles although public transport is present there. One home should be sufficient for everyone but still we are purchasing plots, flat etc in different state, but we never think that a instead of plot and flat if we plant some trees there then it will better for all of us.

Due to lack of trees Global warming is increasing everyone needs AC, Fridge etc which cause AIR pollution as well as electricity consumption and we are getting this electricity from coals and some non renewable resources. I think the best solution is we should use renewable resources as much as possible, use public transport whenever possible, don't throw the waste here and there rather use dustbin. Try to be natural and try to equipped with nature. THANK YOU.

We use more organic fertilizers. Compost and reduce waste which would otherwise get buried and produces greenhouse gases as materials decompose. Avoid burning dead leaves as burning creates air pollution, and putting them out with the trash wastes landfill space. Instead we can compost the leaves and yard debris, or take them to a yard debris recycler. It is simple to pull weeds instead of using herbicides. Our farms need less pesticides and more organic methods.

I agree with my that we still not serious about Wildlife/ Environment. We all that life really difficult or not possible with environment. Now the time has came when we start thinking practically on this issue otherwise our earth will no more.
