(IUCN Definition 2008) Protected areas – national parks, wilderness areas, community conserved areas, nature reserves and so on – are a mainstay of biodiversity conservation, while also contributing to people’s livelihoods, particularly at the local level. Their role in helping mitigate and adapt to climate change is also increasingly recognized; it has been estimated that the global network of protected areas stores at least 15% of terrestrial carbon. The adoption of a National Policy for Wildlife conservation in 1970 and the enactment of the Wildlife (Protection) Act in 1972 lead to a significant growth in the protected areas network. It was further strengthened by a number of national conservation projects, notably Project Tiger, Project elephant, crocodile Breeding and Management Project, etc. National Board for Wildlife (NBWL), chaired by the Prime Minister of India provides for policy framework for wildlife conservation in the country. The Indian Constitution entails the subject of forests and wildlife in the Concurrent list. India has the following kinds of protected areas, in the sense of the word designated by IUCN: National Parks Wildlife sanctuaries Biosphere Reserves Reserved and Protected Forests Conservation Reserves and Community Reserves Private Protected Areas Conservation Areas Marine Protected Areas www.ilp2019.iasbaba.com Page 3 YmI0M2MxYmQ1MGM4 ILP VAN ENVIRONMENT-II 2019 Protected Areas of India No. Total Area (km2) Coverage % of Country National Parks (NPs) 104 40501.03 1.23 Wildlife Sanctuaries (WLSs) 544 118931.80 3.62 Conservation Reserves (CRs) 77 2594.03 0.08 Community Reserves 46 72.61 0.002 Protected Areas (PAs) 771 162099.47 4.93 NATIONAL PARK An area, whether within a sanctuary or not, can be notified by the state government to be constituted as a National Park, by reason of its ecological, faunal, floral, geomorphological, or zoological association or importance, needed to for the purpose of protecting & propagating or developing wildlife therein or its environment. No human activity is permitted inside the national park except for the ones permitted by the Chief Wildlife Warden of the state under the conditions given in CHAPTER IV, WPA 1972. There are 104 existing national parks in India covering an area of 40,501 km2, which is 1.23% of the geographical area of the country (National Wildlife Database, Aug. 2018). State government can declare a national park under Wild Life (Protection) Act (WPA) of 1972. Within the law, the difference in conservation value of a National Park from that of a sanctuary is not specified in the WPA 1972 List of National Parks Year of Area S.

  • World Geography, Geography Theories & Environment
    Samples from WORLD GEOGRAPHY, GEOGRAPHY THEORIES & ENVIRONMENT REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY OF THE WORLD Overview Have you ever gone to Shimla by train? No! You must go atleast once to have a lifetime experience of Himalayas. If you would have more time, take a bike and make a group trip from Chandigarh to upper reaches of Himalayas in J&K. You will find gigantic features - Indus destroying the great mountains creating 1 km deep gorges, something similar to Death Valley of California! Ask someone who visited Africa; just see his photos. The huge deserts in the background would open your yaws. The dense jungles of River Congo will make you feel like a night even during full sunlight. If someone known has gone to Europe for a honeymoon, just ask him his experience. The beautiful beaches and lakes of Europe are the proof that if man desires, he can maintain the endless beauty of our earth. Life is too short. Nature has given us bountiful features; regional geography is all about to live nature! crackIAS.com 8 ASIA Asia accounts for one-third of world’s land area and about 60% of its population Asia– Largest continent both in area and in population. About 72.2% of people live in villages. Japan is the only exception where more than 75% people are urban. It has less than 20% land suitable for Agriculture Tropic of Cancer in Middle East passes through Saudi Arabia, U.A.E. and Oman. Muscat (Capital of Oman) is located on it.
