Factors responsible for decline of biodiversity in india?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Large areas rich in biodiversity have been reduced to small pockets. This is fragmentation which has occurred as agricultural fields, roads, and housing, industrial hydro-electric and other projects have come up in biodiversity-rich forested areas. Fragmentation of forests, for example, has severely affected the elephant population in India.
Elephants move long distances to ensure that they get adequate water and the choicest plant material available for food. In South India the elephant habitat has been reduced by at least 10 per cent because of the conversion of natural forest to commercial monoculture plantations of eucalyptus, caesarian, teak and silver oak for timber or pulp-wood.
