Answer 1

We need to save the biodiversity of our planet because :
(a) Human beings alongwith all living organisms form a complex web of ecological system in which they are only a part and are very much dependent on this system for their existence.
(b) The plants, animals and micro-organisms re-create the quality of the air we breathe, the water we drink and the soil that produces our food without which we cannot survive.
(c) Forests play a key role in the ecological system as these are also the primary producers on which all other living beings depend.
