INTRODUCTION

Endangered Species :
Concept:
The endangered species are those living
organisms which are almost on the verge of
extinction. Thousands of species of plants
and animals are endangered and the number
increases each year.
 Causes for species
becoming endangered

CAUSES

Destruction Wildlife
Overhunting

 Effects On Nature
Disruption of food chains and food webs.

Their absence hampers national wealth.

Affects national biodiversity.

Ecological Imbalance.

Kokkare Bellure, Karnataka:

need to be preserved
because droppings of
these fish eating birds
are rich in nitrates
which is a good fertilizer.

 Endemic Species
Concept :
The concept of Endemism was first given
by CANDOLLE.
When a species is found only in a
particular geographical region because of its
isolation, soil and climatic conditions, it is
said to be endemic.

 Conservation Techniques
The steps for the conservation of the existing
species are:
Proper planning and management should be made to
preserve wildlife in their habitat (in situ), and in zoos and
sanctuaries (ex-situ).

The feeding, breeding and nursing of the species should be

safeguarded.

Establishment of sanctuaries and national parks with

optimum living conditions is necessary.

Proper legislative and administrative measures should be

taken to regulate international trade of the species.
 OBJECTIVES OF OUR PROJECT

To create awareness as regards

animal and plant wealth.

To arouse interest among masses

about biodiversity conservation.

And lastly, playing our own role as a

part of the environment.
