ABSTRACT
This research paper seeks to examine the impact of pollution on animals and wildlife. A clean and healthy environment is a fundamental right for all living beings, and animals, like humans, are equally vulnerable to the harmful effects of environmental degradation. Titled “Treasure the Most Priceless Treasure: Wildlife,” the paper highlights how pollution, as a global issue, introduces toxic substances into natural ecosystems, threatening biodiversity and environmental sustainability. The alarming decline in raptor populations and habitat destruction has drawn the attention of researchers and conservationists alike. The paper also addresses human–animal conflicts and emphasizes the importance of community cooperation in conservation efforts. It explores the effects of air, water, household pollution, and global warming, along with their transmission through the food chain. Further, the study analyses landmark case laws, policies such as the National Forest Policy, and the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, highlighting enforcement gaps and governmental responses. The paper concludes by acknowledging the rapid loss of biodiversity and offering suggestions to protect voiceless species endangered by human activities.
Keywords: Environmental Pollution, Wildlife Conservation, Biodiversity Loss, Human–Animal Conflict, Environmental Law (Wildlife Protection Act, 1972).
