Different pressures as according to at the later part of the 20th century led to the simultaneous decline of forests and wildlife.
Therefore at the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) General Assembly meeting in Delhi in 1969 a resolve was made to fight the menace of forestation and wildlife killing. More than this, in past human encroachment had even presented threat to wildlife in India; therefore, government of India in 1972 formed the Wildlife protection act and Project Tiger to protect the vital wildlife. Thus many wildlife sanctuaries in India were formed. At present in India there are about 500 wildlife sanctuaries and 15 biospheres as well in India.
The profoundness and variation in rich wildlife of India has made an impact on India’s popular culture as well. The wilderness in India is termed as Jungle.
