**14. Conclusion**

Recent advances in molecular biology allow us to gather sufficient genetic data on any species without causing any harm to the organism involved. This chapter describes the various molecular markers which are being utilized for the study of wildlife conservation. Studies on the variation of DNA sequences allow one to differentiate genetically differentiated populations, understand inbred populations and determine the actual number of males and females contributing to the successive generations. Basic data on the genetic and cytogenetics of any species is necessary for the management program. Overall, reliability of molecular markers as a powerful tool for the identification of species and phylogenetic analysis as compared to traditional approaches for taxonomic studies. Applying molecular markers approaches will help solve problems in the management of wild populations and help in identifying the subsequent gene pools.
