Social Science (087) — CBSE Class 10 board question

Two measures for the conservation of wildlife are:

1. Legal Protection: The Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 bans hunting of endangered species and protects their habitats. Projects like Project Tiger (1973) help conserve specific threatened animals.

1. Establishing Protected Areas: Setting up national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and tiger reserves provides safe habitats where wildlife is sheltered from poaching and human encroachment.

• This is a 2-mark question, so two distinct measures are enough — one point per mark.
• Examiners look for named measures (e.g., Wildlife Protection Act, Project Tiger, national parks) rather than vague statements like "protect animals."
• Brief elaboration after each point shows understanding without wasting time. Avoid writing lengthy paragraphs.
• Always anchor your answer to textbook content — the Act (1972) and Project Tiger (1973) are directly mentioned and fetch full marks.
