India has many rare and unique animals, birds and reptiles. Many of these are protected in National Parks and wildlife sanctuaries in India. Many of the religions practised in India such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism teach a respect for life in all its forms and therefore people do not needlessly harm other living creatures around them. However the pressure of growing populations in various states of India has led the increasing need to use land for human habitation and agriculture leading to the reduced habitat of many endangered animals in wildlife sanctuaries.

However the conservation movement has strong roots in India and awareness about preserving the environment and the rare and threatened species of animals, birds and reptiles that live in India is increasing.
