Why save threatened species?
(parveen khan" )
Some people ask "Why save threatened species? What makes a relatively few animals and plants so special that a great deal of effort and money should be expended to preserve
them?"
Many times Indian Parliament addressed these questions, and our government states that endangered and threatened species of birds, mammals and other biodiversity are of
aesthetic, ecological, educational, historical, recreational, and scientific value to the Nation and its people. This statement summarize a number of convincing arguments advanced by scientists, conservationists, and others who are greatly concerned by the
disappearance of wildlife.
From scientific observation, we know that each species occupies a special niche, playing a unique role in its ecosystem. Loss of one species can produce a chain reaction
affecting all the other organisms which the species feeds on, those which prey on it, or with which it interacts in other ways.
The Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) has for over a century pioneered efforts to conserve India's natural wealth. Today it is the largest NGO in the Indian sub-continent
engaged in the conservation of nature and natural resources, education and research in natural history, with members in over 30 countries.
One of the primary ways in which we raise resources for our projects to save threatened and common species is by marketing greeting cards, wall and desk calendar, to the
corporate sector and Educational Institutes. We also produce customized calendars for our clients. We have made special calendars and cards for many agencies such as Colorchem, Goodlass Nerolac, Corporation Bank, SBI, IDBI, Blue Star etc.
You can make vital difference to save the threatened and common which are becoming uncommon such as Vultures by supporting the BNHS. You can do this by using our environment
friendly cards/calendars and other products.
This is the time to book calendars/cards on a special price.
