Natural Vegetation and Wildlife:
Natural vegetation and wildlife exist only in the biosphere. The narrow zone of contact between the lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere is called biosphere. In the biosphere living beings are inter-related and interdependent on each other for survival. This life supporting system is known as the ecosystem. Plants provide us with timber, shelter to animals, produce oxygen, protect soil for growing crops, act as shelter belts, give us fruits and vegetables help in storage of underground water, etc. Wildlife includes animals, birds, insects and aquatic life forms. They provide us milk, meat, hides and wool, help in pollination of flowers, acts as decomposers in ecosystem, etc. Natural vegetation is a renewable resources but its judicial use is must, if not utilized in proper manner it can lead to loss of life and further more calamities. Wildlife and natural vegetation make a deep connection. So preservation of both can be done simultaneously.
Distribution of Natural Vegetation:
The growth of vegetation depends on temperature and moisture. Forests, grasslands, scrubs and tundra are the major types of vegetation of the world. Forests are associated with areas having abundant water supply. These areas have heavy rainfall and huge trees. Grasslands are areas having short stunted trees and grasses grow in the regions of moderate rainfall. As the amount of moisture decreases the size of trees and their density reduces. Thorny shrubs and scrubs grow in dry areas of low rainfall. The plants of this region have deep roots and leaves with thorny and waxy surface that helps reduce loss of moisture through transpiration. Tundra vegetation of cold Polar Regions comprise of mosses and lichens. Evergreen and deciduous are the types of forests depending upon when they shed their leaves. Trees of evergreen forests do not shed their leaves simultaneously in any season of the year. Deciduous forests shed their leaves in a particular season to conserve loss of moisture through transpiration. In India mostly Evergreen and Deciduous forest are found which are the rich source of timber and forest produce .In Himalayan region of India mixed forest are found according to their altitude. such as taiga, evergreen forest and deciduous species are found.
Conservation of Natural Vegetation and Wildlife:
Forests are our wealth .Plants give shelter to the animals and together they maintain the ecosystem. Changes of climate and human interferences can cause the loss of natural habitats for the plants and animals. Poaching is one of the major concerns which results in a sharp decline in the number of particular species. The animals are poached for collection and illegal trade of hides, skins, nails, teeth, horns and feathers. To protect our natural vegetation and wildlife, national parks, wildlife sanctuaries and biosphere reserves are made. Due to indiscriminate killings, several birds and animals have either become extinct or are on the verge of extinction. Awareness programs like social forestry and Van-Mahotsava should be encouraged at the regional and community level .It is the ethical duty of every citizen to conserve plants and animals .Under Article 48A of the Indian constitution forest conservation has made a directive principal .Inclusion of forest and environment in constitution make the government of India liable to take the steps in this direction
