India is endowed with a great wealth of biological diversity in its forests, glaciers, rivers, reservoirs, lakes, coastal areas and wetlands but in the recent years, following massive anthropogenic development there has been rapid industrialization in the country, resulting in the degradation of the environment and loss of much biodiversity, consequent upon fragmentation of the habitat. There is an urgent need to conserve it, otherwise posterity will not forgive us.
