The Board has since been doing pioneering work to arouse public consciousness in favor of wildlife preservation. - To arouse a general awakening in the common man in favour of protection of wildlife, the Indian Board of Wild Life (IBWL) decided to observe the Wildlife Week and since then from October 2nd-8th every year organize different activities related to wildlife conservation to commemorate this week.
