Introduction

Hello people,
This blog's main objective is to give the reader a short but gripping account of the awesome animals inhabiting the jungles of India. India is really blessed as far as biodiversity is concerned, from the snow leopards in the Himalayas to the fresh water dolphins in Ganga, we have it all! However, due to various reasons, ( human encraochment, illegal poching, pollution ,etc ) numbers of these animals are decreasing by the day. Indian Cheetahs, that once dominated the forests of Madhya Pradesh were removed from the face of the country in 1947 due to excessive hunting by the colonial British officers and the Indian nobility. Most of the species including our national animal, the Royal Bengal Tiger, are too considered endangered. Whether to turn a blind eye to our animal brethren and let them suffer the same fate as the Indian Cheetah or to try and make a difference is entirely in our hands.

Having read the first para, most of the readers will think, 'But why fight for something you don't know much about?' This is where this blog comes in. The main purpose of this blog is to impart as much info as required for the reader to think the problems faced by these awesome animals as their own and do something , no matter how little, in the fight to prevent them from total extinction.
