Animal conservation has been lately one of the important concerns globally. With more and more animals falling into the endangered category, there is world wide awareness to save these species. Endangered specie refers to a population of animals that is inching closer to extinction day by day, due to changing environmental conditions or predation limitations. World Conservation union (IUCN) has listed as much as 40 percent of the animal species as endangered.
