Abstract
IN an effort to encourage wider sympathy with wild life in India, a group of enthusiasts has published Indian Wild Life, the official organ of the All India Conference for the Preservation of Wild Life. The objects of the Conference are ambitious: to give effect in all parts of India to the provisions of the All India Convention of 1935, to encourage the preservation of fauna and flora, popularize natural history in schools, establish a natural history library, and an exchange system of literature, to establish a National Park and to publish books and pamphlets on Indian natural history, and to disseminate literature in different languages. It is a big programme, but it is worth aiming at, and well worth encouraging. To the mind of a Western reader, too great a part of the new magazine is given up to personal paragraphs, but it is encouraging to find that already one of its objects has been fulfilled, and that a United Provinces National Park is an accomplished fact the only Park of its kind in India.
