About Wildlife Institute of India – WII (भारतीय वन्यजीव संस्थान):

In the last half century, India’s once rich biodiversity has become considerably depleted. Rapid human and livestock population increase and a rather lopsided development pattern have marginalized or unjustly exploited the country’s bountiful wilderness
areas such that the species richness and the range of habitat types that the country used to be proud of are today highly eroded and fragmented. How can this fall be checked and reversed is now a question being pondered over.Background This sense
of introspection is an encouraging sign indeed. There are some other encouraging signs as well. For instance, the forest departments, the custodians of forests in the country, no longer see their custody as purely industrial raw material but a
vital cog in the ecological wheel for the ultimate and sustained well being of humanity. Such a realization will, in the long run, help overcome the shortcomings and failures of early protective measures to preserve wilderness areas, which still
remains one of the most effective ways of conserving the country’s biodiversity. Amidst such a situation, the need was felt for an organization to help and strengthen endeavors for recovery.
