Third National Wildlife Action Plan 2017-2031 explained for RBI and NABARD 2018 Video Lecture - Current Affairs

hello friends in this video we will be
discussing code national wildlife action
plan this topic will be useful for RBI
PAP 2018 and nab are great a and grade B
2018 exam let us first look at the
outline or subheadings to be covered
under this first we will be covering
relevance of the topic the reference use
importance and threats to wildlife then
we will move on to background and a pig
information about a small topic then we
will proceed towards third national
wildlife action plan its components key
focus areas its unique features and
recommended actions under the plan and
then we will move on towards MCQs third
national y knife action plan is related
to environment in general and why life
in particular
therefore this topic is relevant for
both our dia and 'nobody exams for now
about phase two it is to be covered
under heading environment in economic
and social issues section and for
agriculture and rural development
section again in Phase two the topic is
to be covered under ecology and climate
change for Natural Resources their
sustainable management and conservation
for the RBI phase two exam for economic
and social issues the topic of food
national violent action plan is to be
covered under sustainable development
and environmental business this correct
of the topic has been picked up from a
recent reference news the news was that
Union Minister for environment forests
and climate change has recently
announced third national - action plan
for the period 2017 to 3030 and it was
announced on the day of inauguration of
global Wynette program conference the
conference was held in New Delhi
and this program or the plan has been
launched for meeting our efforts towards
conservation of wildlife since the
issues related to vine life therefore we
will be briefly covering importance and
threats to viola before moving on to the
action plan the section holds
significance with respect to descriptive
English paper for ese besides MCQs
Wynette means all the uncultivated
plants and undomesticated animals the Y
lift is very a valuable resource for us
it provides it is very essential for
human survival and development for ease
we categorize the importance of wildlife
into six heads first social ecological
economic aesthetic scientific and
recreational now we will discuss each of
these individually ecologically the
significance of my life is that it
maintains the ecological equilibrium
it forms essential components of food
webs and biochemical factors it forms
the keystone species these species are
those which are very very critical for
the healthy ecosystem maintenance then
the wildlife also provides us ecological
services these services means the
benefits that humans derives freely from
the nature and environment for example
the production of food and water
nutrients I'd to this climate control
among other things surely they are
source of livelihood and subsistence for
human beings economically deprived I'd
abandoned source of food fiber few
medicines and raw materials for the
industry similarly the tourism potential
of wildlife is incomparable
aesthetically the silikal value means
enjoying the wife's beauty while the
recreational includes the bird watching
photography boating hiking etc the
scientific
sniffles is of my life instead the
availability of large gene pool for the
scientist which helps them in breeding
programs which helps to improve the
briefs for the crops from animals and
other things which is useful for
agriculture and even has been free and
Fisheries now moving to text violet
these are the reasons that put my life
in danger
here you can see the reasons are the
habitats close poaching or the
exploitation pollution introduction of
exotic species and the climate change
these are the five major factors that
thread the wine life and among these the
habitat loss is the biggest cause
contributing about 45% as you can see in
this info graph it is contributing about
45% to the amount of threats among other
factors an example can here can be given
off with the great Indian Buster which
used to have live in the northern plains
of India but due to conversion of their
habitat their class lands into
agriculture the habitat has been
shrinking and then their population is
decreasing day by day
similarly poaching or exploitation is
the second biggest cause for decreasing
the number of my life an example here
can be given about the elephants those
are being killed for ivory
similarly pollution for example the
plastic pollution which kills both
meringue as well as land animals the
introduction of exotic species is also
another factor here the example can be
given is that of snowflakes snowflake is
in coral which comes from Atlantic Ocean
and it is coming to Indian Ocean through
ships and is destroying the chorus of
Indian Ocean it is an exotic species in
Indian Ocean and it is harming the
native chorus of Indian Ocean the next
bigger example
tricked emerging in nowadays is the
climate change which is threatening the
wildlife here an example could be given
is that melting of polar ice in the
polar regions because of global warming
and climate change is sinking the
habitat of polar bears in the polar
regions and hence threatening their
survival because of all these factors
there has been 58 percent decline in
wildlife population since 1970s
therefore we need to take some ardent
steps to conserve iLife and the third
national wildlife action plan is such an
effort by Indian government here we have
some factual information relevant to our
exams first the town lilac has already
been discussed it includes all the
uncultivated plants as well as under
less dedicated animals this definition
is really important from exam point of
view second the winery Protection Act of
1972 is the main acted governs
violate conservation and protection of
endangered species and India the Jammu
and Kashmir state has its own law and
all other states have adopted this
Wildlife Protection Act 1972 third
Indian signatory to Convention on
International trade in endangered
species of wild flora and fauna we will
be briefly discussing about cites in the
following slide the next we have
worldwide life day on 3rd March every
year and worldwide life conservation day
on 4th December we need to learn these
two fact effects and also need to
differentiate between void by life tail
and world by life conservation T next we
have national wildlife action plan which
provides a framework of strategy as well
as program for conservation of wildlife
keeping this in mind before the third
plan we have two plans first was
introduced in
1983 and ii was introduced in 2002 which
finished up or ended in 2016 these two
plans were based on protected area
approach which means the over the
conservation efforts to conserve
wildlife who mainly concentrated inside
national park or while f century or
biosphere reserves
let us now cooky discuss two important
sub small topics here we have sites and
keystone species first we will discuss
sites it is the Convention on
International trade in endangered
species of wild fauna and flora it is a
multilateral treaty to protect
endangered plants and animals this
treaty is aims to ensure that
international trade in specimens of wild
animals and plants doesn't threaten the
survival of species in the wild that
means it doesn't it's a person not
concentrated to prevent the trait but to
restrict so that the population in Y of
species is not threatened it also
provides various degrees of protection
to different species and of plants and
animals the participation in this
convention is purely voluntary and we
have already discussed that India is a
part of this convention this convention
doesn't take the place of national laws
of the country but it provides a
framework within which the domestic laws
are framed and implemented next moving
on to keystone species as we have
already discussed briefly that these are
the species which play a very critical
role in maintaining the healthy
ecosystem that means if ecosystem has to
work has to function healthy these these
species called keystone species are very
very essential these patients are
analogous to keystone in an arch and is
shown in this figure
this arch will collapse
this Keystone if only this Keystone is
removed this whole arch will collapse
therefore without them an ecosystem
cannot exist without keystone species an
ecosystem would cease to exist an
example here can be given of genoise it
is called keystone species because in
its ecosystem in its habitat it's a very
very diverse diet does it keeps the
number of other species in a proper
balance to maintain a healthy ecosystem
let us now begin with our discussion on
third national wildlife action plan this
plan provides a future roadmap for
violent conservation in our country it
was prepared by a 12 member team and the
committee was headed by Jessie kala the
program the plan is in consonance with
United Nations 15 sustainable
development rule that is life on that
the plan has five components 17 themes
won 103 conservation actions and 250
projects this program this plan has to
be implemented from 2017 to 2030 one and
this plan has basic premise the
maintenance of a sentient ecosystem
processes is vital for human survival
and sustainable development as we have
already discussed in the importance of
my life third pilot action plan has five
confidence
the first is strengthening and promoting
the integrated management and of my life
and their habitats this is based on
landscape approach to protect the
environment we will be discussing about
the landscape approach in the following
slides the second component is adapt a
shoot to climate change and promoting
integrated sustainable management of
aquatic biodiversity in India under this
call
the emphasis has been led on integrating
climate change into wildlife
conservation and also importance is
given to a credit biodiversity third
component is promoting ecotourism nature
education and participatory management
which includes in enhancing people's
participation in conservation of
wildlife also balancing the development
as well as the nature conservation the
fourth component includes strengthening
by life research and monitoring of
development of human resources in my
life conservation it includes to enhance
our research later provide life so that
that information can be used for
conservation of wildlife as well as
increasing the capability of human
resources to conserve to protect our f v
component is enabling policies and
resources for conservation of wildlife
in India it includes implementing laws
which punishes the offenders also for
providing required resources financial
material human resources for the
conservation of wildlife the current
action plan has been developed keeping
in mind these six focus areas
these include first the integration of
climate change into wine life planning
since climate change is becoming a new
challenge nowadays therefore it is very
important to include adaptation and
mitigation measures of for climate
change into wildlife planning for the
conservation of my life therefore it has
been a key focus area under the plan
second is reduction in human wildlife
conflict since there has been a number
of incidences in which human by violent
conflict have led to loss of human lives
therefore the plan concentrates on
efforts to reduce this casualty number
curve is conservation of coastal and
Medina Co system since we have discussed
that what component is to increase the
conservation of equated biodiversity in
India so it is also a key focus area to
improve our efforts to conserve to
protect the special coastal and marine
biodiversity in India the fourth focus
area is vial F health which includes
prediction of viola from diseases
epidemics etc the fifth focus area is
preservation of genetic diversity
genetic diversity means the genetic
makeup of an entire population of a
particular species this helps to improve
the breed of a particular species
through breeding programs as we have
already discussed under scientific value
or in viola for importance slide the
sixth is sustainable development which
means that we have to maintain a fine
balance between development as well as
conservation of environment we need to
protect the wildlife but we also need to
develop so we have to maintain a balance
and we happen strive for sustainable
development this plan has certain unique
features these are the use piece of the
plan so we will be discussing these now
the first is that it is the first ever
wildlife action plan to recognize to
recognize the impact of climate change
on Wynette we have also discussed in it
in focus area section and it cleared
info emphasis on interpreting actions
for variation of climate change and its
adaptation into the process of wildlife
management and planning the next unique
feature is the landscape approach we
know that in earlier two plans it was
based on the area based approach in
which the emphasis was led on only since
the conservation of
on your inside the protected area but in
landscape approach the conservation
efforts are concentrated not only inside
the protected area but it is taken those
efforts are form taken in view the
entire landscape the entire habitat
tegra cultural significance of the area
the local communities then your local
economies the entire biodiversity the
social benefits which derives from that
habitat so all those factors are
considered by forming a strategy for
conservation of those different species
in that particular area so this approach
is called landscape approach and this
approach has been adopted in third
national wildlife action plan for
conservation the third unique feature
that has been included in this plan is
that the conservation of wildlife in
Pilot habitats in marine coastal and
inland aquatic ecosystem has been given
significance under this plan and at the
same time the recovery of threatened
species of wildlife has also been given
considerable importance under the flag
the fourth unique feature is that it
addresses the issues of deterioration
fragmentation and shrinkage of habitats
resulting in human animals conflict' so
it has been addressing the human animal
conflict by addressing these vector that
is deterioration of habitat
fragmentation habitat of habitat and
shrinkage of habitat with leads to human
animal confidence the next USP is that
the plan highlights the growing need for
people's participation and support who
conservation for violence it recommends
conservation awareness Ipoh development
training education and outreach programs
to educate the masses to help to bring
their efforts for the conservation of my
life the next is the plan calls for
private sector
participation in conservation of my life
the government is trying to ensure that
sustainable funds are provided for
conservation of wildlife and for this
government is trying to bring corporate
social responsibility funds at their
disposal next is monitoring through
modern technology like radio collars and
drones so that the conservation efforts
are proper and there is no loophole
which can lead to incidences like
poaching which reduces our my life so
since the national wildlife action plan
is the action plan it has recommended a
number of actions to be taken with
different headings we will be discussing
few of them briefly - first we we are
discussing the recommended actions under
the heading strengthening and improving
the protected area network for this we
have to enhance the protected area by
including terrasphere
inland water and coastal marine areas of
height conservation values and by
integrating protected areas into wider
landscapes and seascapes it it means
that we have to increase the protected
area coverage not only have Terrace
field but also coaster as well as sea
areas and also we have to adopt
landscape approach rather than
site-specific approach the second action
has been recommended is that to complete
the process of rationalization and
demarcation of boundaries and zonation
for effective management of protected
areas the next heading is landscape
level approach for wildlife conservation
we have already discussed it and the
recommended action under this category
are to identify critical areas outside
protected areas
keep in mind outside protected areas for
while if cancer
and initiate projects as I have already
told that efforts are not to be
concentrated inside the protected areas
but even outside those protected areas
the next action is a see is that a
strategy to be developed for managing
free-ranging domestic animals such as
dogs cats etc in and around the wild
habitats third category for recommended
actions is rehabilitation of threatened
species the recommended actions are to
develop capacity for ex situ
conservation and multiplication of
threatened taxa éxito means we have to
bring a particular species out of its
have natural habitat to a protected area
or to a region where we provide special
efforts and breed that variety of fur
species so that its population can be
increased and then after increasing the
population this entire population is
again shifted back to its natural
habitats where it lives in its natural
habitat the next step recommended is to
identify critical habitats for
threatened species of flora and fauna
outside protected areas network and
prepare the recovery plans involving
local community institutions so in this
section first there force has to be
concentrated outside protected areas and
the recovery plans have to be made for
those particular species and also it
includes the involvement of local
community to increase people's
participation in violet conservation the
fourth category is wildlife health and
health actions recommended to initiate
research on ecology of diseases that
affect free-ranging why lies
second step is to set up immune
infectious disease free belt around
protected areas and other cells
by left areas by vaccinating livestock
in the surrounding areas against
infectious diseases or the threat to by
life
that means we have to take efforts to
improve the wildlife health and we have
to increase our research on diseases as
well as to ensure that there is least
spread of diseases by forming and I mean
we will belt around the protected areas
the fifth heading under recommended
actions is for integrated climate change
in viola Fleming it recommends actions
for climate specific research and
promote assisted migration of my life to
help in adaptation as well as mitigation
mitigating the impact of climate change
on my life the next heading is
management of tourism in viola failures
it recommends that standards and
guidelines should be turned left to
prevent damage to wildlife and habitats
in particular to forest and mountain
vegetation : pets etc the rules the
second actual recommends rules and
regulation for visitors conduct to
prevent any kind of damage to violin and
the third is pointing to part of Incan
generated from violet tourism for
management of protected areas include
the eco government of communities here
we have to bring a particular amount of
money from but we have generated from
like tourism why left tourism and this
amount has to be used for a development
of local communities for conservation
efforts of my life in or around the
protected areas therefore here we are
balancing the development and nature
conservation we are striving to attain
the sustainable development or key focus
area under the national wildlife action
plan now the next category is to control
watching and in
trade in violet the actions recommended
our increasing ability of trend line
field staff to protect the wine knife
here we have been increased their
capability by giving them training
giving down high-end equipments so that
they can protect the wine
the next is to conduct assessment of
protection measures undertaken by
protected areas to improve the
protection standards therefore that is
we have to assess the current standards
and therefore we have to improvise upon
them so that any loopholes can be
blocked and proper conservation and
threats to wildlife has to be removed
the next step is to establish special
codes for wire created Christ such
special codes are bounded to here and
give the final verdict within a
specified time limit so that the violent
crimes can be sold out sorted out in a
tiny a tight bound manner and hence the
offenders are punished properly the next
category is conservation of coastal and
marine ecosystems the recommended steps
here are to establish new protected
areas to protect the range of
biodiversity in Austin and marine
protected ecosystems in participate free
moves here we have very few Mara
ecologically protected areas in India
for example we have Guttman our
biodiversity Park in the sea area plan
recommends to increase these numbers of
almond eye and ocean ecosystems to
protect them the second step is the
restauration of fragile Mara and coastal
habitat
that is being affected by the fits to
the whining and which needs special
special efforts to consult them so we
have discussed the recommended actions
and in the plan we can see that all
these actions are covered under the
focus areas so the reflects somehow the
focus areas and the five components for
example the violet health the indication
of climate change so all of these
actions are revolving around the key
focus areas as well as the five
components which have been earlier
described in this plan so we have
properly discussed our natural while
official plan in detail covering all the
components key focus areas recommended
actions and importance and church to
violet as well now we are proceeding
towards multiple choice questions I hope
you will be able to answer these
questions easily
the first question is third national
wildlife action plan for wildlife
conservation by the Ministry of
Environment has recently been
inaugurated this natural wildlife action
plan is for optionally 2017 to 2030 one
option B 2017 to 2030 option C 2017 to
2032 and option D is twenty seventeen to
twenty twenty-nine we have already
discussed that this action plan has been
formulated for the period 2017 to twenty
thirty one so here option a is the
correct answer then second question is
the world while F D is celebrated every
year on the option is third me option B
fourth to the sample option C third
March and option D is fifth June here we
have to take in mind keep in mind that
we have been asked word by left D and
not word wildlife conservation D and the
way violet Day is being celebrated every
year on 3rd March so here option C is
the correct answer
third question is which among the
following are the key focus areas of 3rd
national violent action plan the first
treatment is wildlife health second
conservation of coastal ecosystem third
integration of climate change into wine
life planning and the fourth statement
is genetic engineering to conserve
wildlife health options are a first and
to be option first second and third
statements are the key focus areas
option C is first second third and
fourth are the key focus areas and
option D is three and four we have
already discussed there were six there
are six focus areas under the plan and
here we can find the first second and
third statements are among the key focus
areas compare the option B
me the correct answer question four is
the head of the committee which prepared
toward natural wildlife action plan is
option in JC color option b PG nyuk
option C behavior and option B M s
Swaminathan hello we have discussed that
a trial member team headed by mr. JC
Karla has formulated this plan so the
answer is option e JC color question 512
national wildlife action plan
conservation efforts are based on one
area based approach and statement to
cease the landscape approach and the
options are in option solids the
statement 2 is correct option B says
both an two are correct option C says
only first statement is correct
and option D since none of these is
correct we have repeatedly said this
plan the current national wildlife
action plan is based on landscape
approach while the earlier two were
based on area based approach so here the
answer is only two and that has been
depicted under option a so here the
correct answer is option a moving on
towards the question six which says
which asked it what is correct about
sites sites is the convention we have
already discussed and here the options
on the studying the statements are first
it is related to trade in endangered
species second statement it includes
only animals third statement is Indian
signatory to it so these statements we
have to consider and take out which are
correct the options are a both sorry all
one two and three statements are correct
option B says first and second statement
is correct
option C sales only first statement is
correct and option B C's one and three
are correct
yes this convention D is in endangered
species but it deals with both plants
and animals not only animals of this
second statement is wrong and yes India
is a signatory to this convention so
here we have to see the option which
includes both 1 and 3 and here it is the
option D so option D is the correct
answer to question number 6 question 7
asks the term by life means optional
domesticated animals only option B for
it's only option C or uncultivated flora
and undomesticated founder option D
while animals only so we have already
mentioned that wildlife includes both
animals as well as plants but
uncultivated flora that is plants and
under the stick it found none it is
animals
so here option C is the correct answer
moving on towards question 8 which sees
which among the following are true about
curve national wildlife action plan
there are four statements four
statements things that is the first ever
at wildlife action plan to recognize the
impact of climate change on violet
second statement says it calls for
private I'll private sector
participation conservation of pilot the
third statement says in a dog's area
based approach for conservation and
fourth says that it promotes integrated
system sustainable management of a
cretak biodiversity the options are a
both one into a correct option B 1 2 & 3
are correct option D add an option C a
option C says one two three and four are
correct and option D C is one two and
four are correct so we have to see
that statement 3 is wrong because it is
not a lobbyist it is the plan is Lansky
based so statement 3 is wrong right
statement first is correct first plan to
recognize impact of climate change it
also calls for private sector
participation and it promotes
sustainable management of aquatic
biodiversity so option among the options
which sees 124 are correct is the option
B so here the correct answer is option D
question 9 which one the following are
the actions recommended on a third
national wildlife action plan shake move
on the strategy to be developed for
managing free-ranging domestic animals
such as dogs cats etc in and around
wildlife habitats statement to promote
assisted migration of wireless state in
three states initiate research on
ecology of diseases that affect
free-ranging my life statement forces to
establish special codes to deal with
vile life related crime cases and the
options are in one and two
option B one two three and four
option C is 1 2 & 3 & option D is 1 2 &
4 here we can see that all these four
statements are correct
therefore option B is the correct answer
for question I'm moving on to question
10 what is the significance of keystone
species optioning they live near the
stores option B they are critical for
critical for maintaining healthy
ecosystem option C they are all these
predators option D they damage the
ecosystem we have already discussed that
the keystone species are critical for
maintaining healthy ecosystem therefore
state will be option B is the correct
answer
so for question 10 so these are the
answers to the MCQs I hope you are able
to attempt maximum correct answers to
the questions so this was all about the
national wildlife action plan for more
