Apart from elephant, there are many species which are crying for attention. They include one-horned rhinoceros, Nilgiri tahr, Bengal tiger, Asiatic lion, lion-tailed macaque and so on. Black Buck are also in danger, mainly due to poaching and habitat destruction.
Every state government should take steps to protect their state animals and birds.
