eassy on biological diversity and its preservation
Answers
Biodiversity refers to the variety of flora and fauna in a given region on earth as a whole. The greater the variety of flora and fauna, the better it is for the survival of different species. This is because it helps in the process of food chain. Different species of animals are dependent upon other species to satiate their hunger while some species are dependent on plants. If one species goes extinct for some reason, those dependent on them for food will also starve to death and we will keep losing various species resulting in decline in the biodiversity. This is what has been happening since a long time especially during the last few decades.
The advancement in technology and various other activities such as industrialization, deforestation, growing pollution, global warming and the ever growing population of human beings are some of the reasons for lowered biodiversity. We are losing numerous species of plants, animals, marine creatures, insects and other organisms each year.
It is imperative to maintain high level of biodiversity. The activities causing a decline in biodiversity have already been identified. We now need to keep a check on all these activities for the conservation of biodiversity. The joint efforts of the government and general public across the globe can help in this direction.
