Human beings influence the ecology of a region. They utilise the vegetation and wildlife. The greed of human beings leads to over-utilisation of these resources. They cut the trees and kill the animals, creating ecological imbalance. As a result some of the plants and animals have reached the verge of extinction.

The main causes for this . major threat to nature is greed of man. Pollution due to chemical and industrial waste, acid deposits and reckless cutting of the forests are responsible for the imbalance. 22. Bio-reserve is a scheme to protect and conserve biodiversity.

Examples are the Nilgiri biosphere reserve and Nanda Devi biosphere reserve.
