    Adoption of Animals & Birds

    Invitation for Adoption of Animals and Birds in the Zoos Deer Parks in Haryana

    Why Adopt Wild Animals and Birds

    Roar of a magnificent tiger, leaping of a deer, call of red jungle fowl, melodious song of a nightangle, beautiful dance of a peacock, chirping of birds: all these were the common scenes for ' Incredible India'. However, due to the shrinkage and degradation of habitat and poaching of wildlife; many animals and birds have either become endangered or are likely to become so. Some of them have even become extinct. Wild animals and birds are the part and parcel of Indian culture and traditions. They are associated with Gods and Goddesses. If the present rate of degradation and shrinkage of habitat continues, the day is not far off when wild animals and birds will be lost forever; and we will be left only with their photographs. Wildlife is essential for human welfare. We can't live without them. Hence, wildlife has to be protected at all costs. Government efforts are not sufficient and it is the responsibility of all citizens of India to contribute towards protecting and conserving this unique wealth of India. There is an urgent need to create love and attachment towards wild animals and birds by creating awareness in the public. One way by which one can contribute in the noble cause of protecting this heritage of India and the unique gift of nature, is by adopting an animal/bird.
