Frequently Asked Questions - Conservation of Plants and Animals
Conservation of plants and animals is important to maintain biodiversity, ecological balance, and ensure the survival of various species and ecosystems.
Depletion of flora and fauna is caused by habitat destruction, pollution, overexploitation, invasive species, and climate change.
Deforestation is the process of clearing forests for various purposes, leading to loss of habitat for many plant and animal species.
We can conserve biodiversity by establishing protected areas, implementing wildlife conservation programs, promoting sustainable practices, and raising awareness.
National parks and wildlife sanctuaries provide safe habitats for wildlife, conduct research, and promote conservation education and ecotourism.
We can conserve aquatic ecosystems by preventing water pollution, regulating fishing practices, and creating marine protected areas.
Overexploitation leads to the decline of species populations, disruption of food chains, and imbalance in ecosystems.
Afforestation involves planting trees in areas where they were previously absent. It helps in restoring habitats, reducing soil erosion, and promoting biodiversity.
Captive breeding programs involve breeding endangered species in controlled environments to increase their population and reintroduce them to the wild.
Individuals can contribute by practicing sustainable lifestyles, supporting conservation organizations, participating in clean-up drives, and spreading awareness.
