Abstract

The extinction risk of critically endangered species in India is due to rapid human population growth, anthropogenic activities, and urban expansion. The environmental biodiversity and the species residing in it are continuously under stress and facing the threat of extinction. The World wildlife fund (WWF) and The Department of Endangered Species Management (ESM) works to conserve rare and critically endangered wildlife in India through status surveys, research, monitoring, the development of conservation action plans, and advocacy as per Wildlife Institute of India. This article highlights the many endangered species and their habitats on this day and every day, working to raise awareness and partnerships with local communities, governments, businesses, and the rest of the world to take action to protect them.
