Executive Summary- For a Living Planet
Can we ever imagine a world where tigers are no longer roaming on the Indian Sub-
continent, or where coral reef are only found as decoration in museums or where marine
turtles, whales and dolphins are only found in captivity?
Such a world is more likely than we might imagine.
WWF-India is one of the largest conservation organisations engaged in wildlife and nature
conservation in the country.
Established as a Charitable Trust on November 27, 1969, it has an experience of over four
decades in the field. From a modest beginning, the organisation was propelled forward by the
efforts of its founders and associates who volunteered their time and energy to lend
momentum to this movement.WWE India is one such organisation which aims at the
promotion of nature conservation and environmental protection as the foundation for
sustainable and equitable development, through awareness programmes and events.

CONCLUSION
I found immense pleasure for the first time in writing this report and I am grateful to my
Mentor MsJaisreeAnand for giving me such opportunity.My reason for choosing this topic as
my assignment report is due to the cause of my profound interest and concern in the
protection and sustenance of nature and natural tourism product which today is facing the
dearth of extinction and is endangered to the over exploitation of resources due to the
uncontrolled human activity to fulfill his unending needs and selfish wants, which is also
directly correlated to our Tourism and hospitality industry. It is almost impossible to imagine
a world without these natural beauties which are facing a global threat and is important for
human beings sustenance too. Inhuman practices are injustice to nature and nature has its
own way of balancing the environment which ultimately the human kind will have to pay in
the long run. Its yet not too late, but it has to be now or never. I hope this report might help
in getting its voice and help as an eye-opener, which is personally my concern and not just a
cut-copy-paste work. Finally, I would like to end by saying that with Great Power comes
Great Responsibilities, and I am contributing a bit through this report as I feel that we are
responsible human beings.
HUMANKIND- Be both!
Thank You
