Natural ponds have much role to play in the conservation of wild life. It is because, ponds acts as habitat for different species of plants and animals. We can see frogs, dragon flies, turtles, etc at water ponds. Water ponds present at forests are decreasing in number. Reduction in the number of water ponds in wild life is a major threat to the life of animals and plants that depend on these water ponds for survival. Since animals have the ability to move, they might catch up some or the other watering hole. But few watering holes might not be safe for drinking.
Disturbance in the number of natural ponds will alter the equations of wild life and will throw away the balance of eco system. In order to prevent such undesirable consequences, we have to take care of existing natural ponds and have to install new water ponds. People who have awareness regarding environment are trying to build natural ponds that are in the style specifically aimed at wild life. It is better to build large sized natural ponds.
