Remedies of eco-imbalance

Answer 1

Remediesfor Eco-Imbalance : Some important strategies (programme and plans) for reducing the ecological imbalance in the world eco-system are given below:
(I) Road construction activities must be minimum on reserve forests in order to avoid and disturbance to natural wealth. It is better to consult an environmentalist prior to road construction.
(II) In order to avoid any geological havoc, blasting and chipping mountain slopes must be done under the instructions of geological investigators.
(III) Wood burning as a source of energy is very popular in those area where oil, gas and coal prices are very high. Besides this wood burning bring forth hazardous amounts of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC due to inefficient and incomplete burning of wood. EPA (Environmental Pro tection Agency) recommend use of Wood Stoves nation wide (hilly areas and plains) to over-power eco-imbalance as a remedial measure and attempt deal burning.
(IV) Biogas is another way, the use of which can help in maintaining eco-balance. It is a source of renewable energy. I.I.T., New Delhi has develops technology of briquetting saw dust into smokeless fuel— a good and eco-friendly source of energy which yields Biogas and pynogas. Biogas is mainly produced from cattle dung, human excreta, straw, plant, leaves, paddy husk sludge, food industries and paper mills, Its use is good remedy for eco-imbalance besides being cheaper.
(V) Programme of social forestry must be taken upto the grass root level. The wastelands must be garlanded with trees, and valuable herbs and shrubs. The best example of social forestry is found in China where even single inch of wasteland is not left without plantation. Debris obtained during road cut-tings must be accumulated at some appropriate place and plantation must be done on the same.This plantation will help in retaining the natural environment.
Plantation must be done along the banks of rivers, nallaha etc. in order to avoid any further cutting of soil and to protect the water reservoir and dams from more siltation, Small water tanks along with the proper drainage system must be constructed along the roadsides in order to protect both flora and fauna.
