India Relaxing Music
India is home to a wide array of ecozones including deserts, mountains, tropical and temperate forests, rivers, plains and even an island archipelago. It is therefore not surprising that India hosts 7.6% of the world’s mammal population, 12.6% of all birds, 11.7% of all fish, 4.4% of all amphibians and 6% of all flowering plant species. Recent decades have seen the population of India grow immensely, which has posed a massive threat to India’s wildlife. As a result of this problem, as well as the implications of illegal hunting and poaching, the system of national parks and reserves first established in 1935 has expanded. There are now 87 National Parks, 13 Bio reserves and over 400 wildlife sanctuaries located throughout the country. Animals like the Asian Elephant, the Bengal Tiger, the Asiatic Lion, the Leopard and the Indian Rhinoceros are very important to Indian culture and are associated with deities. The popularity of such animals aid in conservation efforts and they are increasingly important for wildlife and ecotourism. As a result of this, many national parks and reserves are dedicated to preserving these animals
