Biodiversity and species
Biodiversity includes the variety of flora and fauna and the ecosystems in which they occur. Species may be normal, endangered, vulnerable, rare, endemic or extinct depending on their status.
Causes of depletion
Agricultural expansion, commercial forestry, mining, large विकास projects, hunting and pollution can reduce habitats and wildlife populations.
Conservation categories
इस अध्याय में discusses protected areas and संरक्षण approaches such as biosphere reserves, wildlife sanctuaries and national parks, alongside species-focused protection.
Project Tiger and species protection
Species संरक्षण programmes illustrate how habitat protection, anti-poaching measures and monitoring can support threatened populations.
Community participation
Local communities have knowledge and a direct stake in forests. Joint forest management and community-led संरक्षण show that संरक्षण can be strengthened when लोग participate.
Sacred groves and traditional practices
Cultural traditions in several regions protect patches of natural vegetation. Such community practices contribute to biodiversity संरक्षण.
Sustainable forest management
Conservation is not simply exclusion of लोग; it requires balancing ecological needs with livelihoods, rights and long-term resource security.
