The local inhabitants should always be included in the conservation programme, because their survival depends on it. Industrialists and wildlife enthusiasts should also be taken under the fold of conservation programmes. A coordinated effort by all the stakeholders will give better results.

Conserving forests and wildlife involves several key practices crucial for sustainability. Sustainable forest management, including responsible logging and afforestation, maintains biodiversity while minimizing environmental impact. Preserving habitat integrity through wildlife corridors and protected areas safeguards ecosystems and species diversity. Engaging local communities by educating them about conservation fosters their participation and understanding. Combating illegal activities such as poaching and illegal logging requires stringent law enforcement and vigilant monitoring. Promoting eco-friendly practices like sustainable livelihoods and eco-tourism reduces pressure on natural resources. Biodiversity conservation efforts focus on protecting endangered species and restoring degraded ecosystems. Education and awareness campaigns play a vital role in instilling a sense of responsibility towards forests and wildlife. Scientific research guides conservation actions, and strong policies supporting conservation efforts ensure sustainable practices. International collaboration amplifies conservation impact globally, emphasizing the importance of collective responsibility for the preservation of forests and wildlife.
