Why have Bengal Tigers, Cheetahs, and Great Indian Bustards become threatened in India?

The populations of Bengal Tigers, Cheetahs, and Great Indian Bustards have declined mainly due to habitat loss, hunting, and changes caused by human activities.These factors reduce the safe spaces and resources needed by these animals to survive.

When forests and grasslands are damaged or converted for other uses, many animals lose their natural habitats. Reduced availability of food, disturbance in breeding areas, and conflicts between humans and wildlife can further decrease their populations.

Conservation efforts such as Project Tiger, protected areas, and species recovery programmes help protect endangered animals and restore their habitats. Protecting these species is important because every organism contributes to maintaining biodiversity and ecological balance.
