Consequences of Urbanization on Wildlife Survival in India and USA - Relevance of Adoption of Legislations

Urbanization has always been a sign of growth, but it has created its own set of issues, concerns and challenges to tackle. One such issue is the destruction of wildlife's natural habitat in the form of deforestation which contributes to killing and chocking of wildlife. The quest for urbanization gradually becomes an individual preference in which people yearn for more luxury, be it in the form of automated gadgets, luxury cars or posh farmhouses- all leading to pollution and wildlife survival disturbance.For India and the United States of America being no exception, this trend is global. India is the world’s second most populous nation and one of the largest developing economies for rising urban development rates. The United States of America on the other hand, falls within the context of a developed nation. At this juncture, urbanization and natural life are among the most controversial issues that require legal intervention to protect and preserve biodiversity.On a cynical note, both the countries are welfare nations, but is this welfare extended to the wildlife too? India has achieved an unprecedent level of urbanization, and the United States is already an urban society, yet a dunking rate of events in untamed wildlife is a serious legal problem for both the nations.India has adopted various legislation such as The Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 and Endangered Species Act of USA and these legislations had been formulated in the nation-state with regards to urbanization and ecological law while both the nations are parties to the UN Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. The goal was to economically develop the country, stimulate urbanization, and sub-mix the untamed wildlife regime. By comparing both the countries, the paper will jointly present a reformation that needs to be considered under one legislation by bridging the gap between the developing nations and developed nations. The empirical method of research will be adopted to compare both the legislations. In light of the aforementioned scenario, this paper by way of a doctrinal search attempts to endeavour into the following:1. Relationships between the growing population, the ecology principle, change towards urbanization and the establishment of wildlife laws in India and the United States.2. Urbanization analysis and wildlife law requirements on a global aspect.3. Recommend sustainable urbanization improvement along with biodiversity and natural life insurance solutions
