Why are wolves endangered in India? | The Hindu

- For years, Asiatic cheetahs and wolves would roam the Indian plains. But the cheetahs are now gone and so are the vast herds of antelope that they fed on. With only 3,100 wolves remaining in India, they could be the next to disappear. The Indian grey wolves are one of the oldest wolf lineages in the world.
They are smaller and leaner compared to their European and American counterparts. The Indian wolf is highly adapted to the hot, arid plains of the subcontinent. In India, wolves are in the same category of endangerment as tigers. Habitat loss is a primary threat to the survival of this species.

Yes, in our Village my grandfather tells about 40 years ago there's so many wolves at the village roaming but now none..
Nearly 15 years ago , when any of our buffalo was going to gave birth ,we used to stay awake all night to scare off wolfs , but today we are doing the same to scare off dogs
It's high time a serious thought is given to ecological balance. After all the world belongs to all species.
Mahuadanr wildlife sanctuary is dedicated to wolf in India.
Our country only cares about its 500 yr history not my country's precious wildlife🙂
You are wrong, its because of that 500 yr history these animals are still living.... In other countries the religions teach no respect for animals as a result they are extinctv there... With 2.7% land India holds 7% biodiversity of the world it is so because animals are respected in that 500 (pardon 5000) yr history
@@priyathammanoharkoka4300 ok what about the present ( past is always past )
@@dragfang6856 even now we r doing a good job (can do better tho). Quoting from the economic survey
"India has the tenth largest forest area in the world. In 2020, India ranked third globally in
increasing its forest area during 2010 to 2020. The forests covered 24 per cent of India’s
total geographical, accounting for two per cent of the world’s total forest area in 2020.
"ndia’s forest cover has increased by more than three per cent during 2011 to 2021"
Few more i can remeber are - The Countries containing tigers (India, nepal , bhutan, etc total of 13 countries) have pledged to double the tiger population by 2022 of the 2006 levels . India has done it in 2018 itself!
India has the 4th largest renewable energy sector in the world (we were not in top 10 a few years ago, we grew rapidly)
India is one of tge only few countries and (probably only big country, i mean china , us , brazil etc)that has achieved the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) of the paris agreement.
I can go on , i do agree we can do better.
But too many people just blindly comment on our history, i am repeating again if it wasnt for that nature centric history which is different from the anthropocentric mindset of the west . We too would have wrecked our wildlife, period. People in India still pray and respect elephants and tigers even tho ocassionally they run into conflict with them. Same thing if a wolf atfacks someone in the west all wolves would b killed
Chutiya phle thoda research kr phir comment kiya kr....Govt.. ne kitne sare incentive aur measures already le rkhe hai bhut sare endangered animals ko preserve krne ke liye .
You are absolutely right
The Hindu times needs to talk about Ecosia they are a search engine that plants tress
India should make wildlife sanctuary for wolfs inorder to preserve them .
The Pale-Footed Wolf (Canis pallipes) is a species of dog native to Southwestern Asia, there are two recognized subspecies of pale-footed wolf, the Arabian Wolf (Canis pallipes arabs) and the Indian Wolf (Canis pallipes pallipes), the Pale-Footed Wolf (Canis pallipes) is surprisingly the closest living relative of the oceanian wild dogs, which are both the New Guinea Singing Dog (Canis hallstromi) and the Dingo (Canis dingo).
I never knew india have wolfes...i thought we only had foxes & coyotes
Coyotes are found only in america
You mean foxes and jackals
Jackals
You have to read the Jungle Book
Yes it is true. I have not seen a wolf since my childhood days.
Mahuadhar wolf Sanctuary(Jharkhand)
Ur show is the best.Hope for the best for wolf
Indian government should be taken strong action to save wild life and forest.....
People also make awareness about wolf... Safe environment
We humans will destroy everything and we say to ourselves that we are achieving so many things
I think we should stop focussing on a single species from now on. We are repeating this everytime. Tigers are low!! It's all about tigers. Antelopes are less..Shift the focus to antelopes. Now, it's wolves. But, they don't live like that. They are interdependent in an ecosystem right. We, humans, are able to study the species but our inherent inability to connect with nature is not allowing us to conceive a wholesome understanding of biological web as a whole. One species reduces it's number, we all panic for sometime and then we forget. Isn't it time to correct the ecosystem as a whole. There were incidents when people revived a dying lake to make all the animals around it to flourish. They introduced a pack of wolves in a Canadian national park to correct the whole ecosystem. I am no expert in this field. It's just my personal opinion.
You are correct... We need protected Ecosystems untouched by Humans wherever possible in all states ,
And Big life size Zoos like the Australian Zoo to study these ecosystems better and Animal rehabilitation.
Sad ,the govt.🤦 Is just busy clearing Ecological Hotspots for Development and Infrastructure projects.
@@AnishAaravOO1 Australia has an amazing and unique wildlife still one of the most developed nations in the world...
@@debayanpal3181 less population less loss of habitat
@@DistantDreamer892 Yes
Heartbreaking breaking
So basically wolf fu##ing dogs and mixing genes😂
It’s animal specism😂😂
Don't type these types of disgusting comments about animals 😢
we cared too much about stray animals now it's time for wild animals
India has two species of wolf, bheriya who are rather smaller then European wolves and himalayan wolves who are bigger then average European wolves, ofc gray wolves are biggest.
We need to redefine development activities.
But why are they looking like Jackals
0:07 Cheetttah ( male ant? )
No the mammal
These animals need more protection than the tigers😢😒, plz save them govt of states and goi🙏🙏🙏
Please prevent that
There should be death penalty for poaching and illegal hunting of wild animals
These are jackals not wolves
It would be happened when u give most priority on reserved cow then other animals wolves r unreserved... like our Indian cast system...
You shouldn't be asking why
They seems like jackals
वुल्फ= लड़ैया
Lets pet them ❤
This is not wolf it is jackal
Dog + Wolf = Dolf
😟
There is no dedicated protected natural habitat for wolf 🐺 😑sad
Adopt the wolves...😲
Because politicians are quadrupled
Are wolves loyal like dogs ? a doubt 😐
Dogs are domesticated and bred in close proximity with humans, unlike wolves.
they are loyal to nature not loyal to fool humans who likes to control every animal like a narcissist
These look like jackals!
Govt should terminate stray dogs and conserve wolves...
Because of Adani , Ambani, moti and rss .....save tribal people save nature
