About 300 BC, an Indian writer described forests that were somewhat like national parks today. The killing of beasts was carefully supervised(监视). Some animals were fully protected. Within the forest, nobody was allowed to cut timber(wood for building), burn wood for charcoal (木炭), or catch animals for their furs. Animals that became dangerous to human visitors were caught or killed outside the park so that other animals would not become uneasy.

The need for wildlife protection is greater now than ever before. About a thousand species of animals are in danger of extinction, and the rate at which they are being destroyed has increased. With mammals(哺乳动物), for instance, the rate of extinction was about one species(种类) every fifty years from AD 1 to 1800, but now it is about one species every year. Everywhere, people are trying to solve the problem of protecting wildlife, caring for the rapid growth of the world's population.

In many countries today, laws protect wildlife. In India the need for such protection was realized centuries ago.

About 300 B.C, an Indian writer described forests that were somewhat like national parks today. The killing of game animals was carefully governed. Some animals were fully protected. Within the forest, nobody was allowed to cut trees, burn wood, or trap animals for their furs. Animals that became dangerous to human visitors were trapped or killed outside the park, so that other animals would not become uneasy.

The need for wildlife protection is greater now than ever before. About a thousand sorts of animals are in danger of extinction, and the speed at which they are being destroyed has been putting on. With mammals(哺乳类动物),for example, the speed of extinction is now about one sort every year; from A.D.1 to 1800,the speed was about one sort every fifty years. Everywhere, men are trying to solve the problem of saving wildlife while caring for the world’s growing population.
