Diversity and Conservation of Wildlife Associated with Rivers: An Eco-ethological Analysis

Wildlife literally means the life-forms (animals and plants) living in the wild without getting any support from the human beings. It can be defined as those plants or animals successfully living in the wild condition from birth to death, excluding humans and domesticated forms or cultivated forms of life as fish. In its most simplistic representation, “wildlife” includes only wild mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians as forests along with their plants mostly remain under the managerial control by human beings.
