India is home to many species of birds and animals that live in the wild. But with rapid habitat depletion caused by humans and climate change, quite a few of our wildlife species have been listed by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature as endangered. While some are “critically endangered”, others are on the “verge of extinction” or “near threatened”. Hence the government and various conservation agencies in our country are trying their best to protect these species in their natural habitats.
Today there are around 400 wildlife sanctuaries and 80 national parks where these species survive under protection and are encouraged to multiply. Play this game and identify six endangered animals and match them with the parks or sanctuaries where you can find them.
