Forests are called as biodiversity hot spots, because they contain high levels of species diversity that are threatened with extinction.

The ways in which individual conserve wild life and forests :

(i) One should protest against the cutting of trees (deforestation).

(ii) One should protest against the poaching of wild animals.

(iii) One should stop the annexation of forest land for personal use.

forests are considered "biodiversity hot spots" because there are large number of plant and animal species in the forests.The range of life forms e.g.. bacteria, fungi, ferns, flowering plants etc. is very wide in the forests.

Two ways in which an individual can contribute effectively to the management of forests and wildlife are:
a)Using fewer products which are directly derived from forests and wildlife.
b)Avoid discriminate cutting down of forests for industrial purpose.

Plastic is harmful because it is 'Non-Biodegradable'. When thrown on land it makes the soil less fertile. When thrown in water it chokes our ponds, rivers and oceans and harms the sea life. ... because the bacteria in their stomach cannot break the plastic up into smaller pieces.

The ways of reducing this damage are:
1.Stop using plastic straws, even in restaurants. 2.Use a reusable produce bag.
3.Give up gum
4.Buy boxes instead of bottles.
5.Purchase food, like cereal, pasta, and rice from bulk bins and fill a reusable bag or container.
