Biodiversity is the variety and differences among living organisms from all sources,
including
terrestrial,
marine, and
other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes
of which they are a part.

THREATS ANS CONSERAVTION
Extinction is the most irreversible and tragic of all environmental calamities.
With each plant and animal species that disappears,
a precious part of creation is callously erased
As our numbers climb, we expand
agricultural conversion,
import invasive species,
hunt more species,
degradae habitat,
fragment and lose habitat,
pollute water and air, impact climate
In short, we are causing the 6th mass extinction, the only biological

HABITAT LOSS is due to

Agricutural actvites.
Extraction.
Devlopement activites.(human settlement,
industrial and associated infra structure)
Human activites such as grazing and hunting
Discharge of industrial effluents and chemicals kill aquatic organisms

Buildings and cities have a surprisingly big impact upon habitats and the many
vulnerable species that they contain. These impacts are often far way and hence
are easily ignored or subject to 'greenwash' standards (as in timber sourcing)..
These are often the result of packaging from the building site. Biodiversity is the
Cinderella of the green movement in architecture.

Man is fasinating himself from animals. Using head to toe for his
uses..( anmial skin,bone,teeth,nail,tusk)

Man- wild life conflicts
Wild animals pentrate in human habitatat unable to find food in forest area.
They attack food crops near settlement
Reasons of man-wildlife conflicts are. DEFORESTATION
ENCROACHMENT OF FORESTS
URBANIZATION IN THE WILD LIFE AREA
PREVENTION.MORE SPACES FOR PROTECTED Areanational parks,

. development and construction work in and around forest

Conserving Biodiversity
How do we preserve biodiversity?
To conserve biodiversity, we must protect individual species, preserve
habitats and ecosystems, and make certain that human neighbors of
protected areas benefit from participating in conservation efforts.
Two types of conservations.
In situ Conservationprotection of flora and fauna within natural
habitat itself..
Biosphere reseveres, national parks,Scanturies,forest
In india we have7 biospheres reserves,80 national parks
Ex-situ conservationn
