This document defines and categorizes different types of bio-resources that can be used by humans for food, materials, and energy. It provides examples of primary bio-resources like wood, grain and algae and secondary bio-resources like fruit residues. The document also discusses environmental degradation caused by factors such as population growth, economic activity and technology use, which leads to issues like water scarcity and habitat destruction. Water degradation and shortage is a major component of this, as only a small percentage of Earth's water is available as freshwater for human use.
Resources are anything that has utility and adds value to your life. Air, water, food, plants, animals, minerals, metals, and everything else that exists in nature and has utility to mankind is a ‘Resource’. The value of each such resource depends on its utility and other factors, e.g. metals are gold, silver, copper or bronze have economic value; i.e. they can be exchanged for money. Mountains, rivers, sea or forests are also resources but they do not have economic value. The given presentation briefly explants about the classification and availability of bio-resources and natural resources( mainly emphasizing on Indian natural and bio-resources) and also describes about bioproducts or green products.

A bioindicator is any an "indicator species" or group of species whose function, population, or status reveal the qualitative status of the environment.
Difference between In-Situ and Ex-Situ conservation
Conservation of biodiversity and genetic resources helps protect, maintain and recover endangered animal and plant species. There are mainly two strategies for the conservation of wildlife: In-situ conservation and Ex-situ conservation. Although, both the strategies aim to maintain and recover endangered species, they are different from each other. Let us see how they differ from each other!
In this ppt, you will study about the different biographical zone of India and types of forest in India and about Indian Biodiversity with a video made by me on youtube. you can follow me here and you can see my more video on youtube.

Role of an individual in conservation of natural resources
All the things we use and consume are obtained from natural resources. Due to the increase in population, industrialization, and urbanization, the demand for natural resources is increasing and their availability is limited. So there is a need for proper management of natural resources

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. DEFINITION
• Bio-resources are nonfossil biogenic resources
which can be used by humans for multiple
purposes:
• to produce food,
• substantial products, and/or
• energy carriers.
3. They can be categorised into
following categories:
• Primary bioresources: Primary bioresources are
generated for a specific application-oriented
purpose in forestry, agri- or aquaculture to
enable the production of food, substantial
products, or eventually energy. Examples are
wood, grain, potato, bamboo, algae.
• Secondary bioresourceS:
4. • Examples of primary bio- resources:
wood, grain, potato, bamboo, algae.
• Examples of secondary bio-resources:
Fruit Residues. Around 25 % of the mass of an orange
is orange peel. They contain interesting extractives and
organic matter usable for various purposes. This mixed
fruit residue is used for biogas generation.
• Examples of tertiary bio-resources:
Degradation during storage, may have taken place.
They have generally a lower value than secondary bio-
resources.
• Examples of Quaternary bio-resources:
Their generation after start of utilization into short-,
mid-, and long-term categories.

8. Environmental degradation
• Environmental degradation is the deterioration of
the environment through depletion of resources such
as air, water and soil; the destruction
of ecosystems; habitat destruction; the extinction of
wildlife; and pollution.
• As indicated by the I=PAT equation,
• Where, (I)= Environmental impact
(P)= Increasing human population,
(A)=continually increasing economic growth or
per capita affluence, and
(T)= Application of resource-depleting and
polluting technology
9.
10. Root Causes and Main Threats
• These are population growth, inequity, and
inadequate economic policies and institutional
systems.
• In addition, habitat degradation, and
fragmentation, over-exploitation of biological
resources.
11.
12.
13. Water degradation
• One major component of environmental
degradation is the depletion of the resource of
fresh water on Earth.
• Approximately only 2.5% of all of the water on
Earth is fresh water, with the rest being salt
water.
• 69% of fresh water is frozen in ice caps located
on Antarctica and Greenland, so only 30% of
the 2.5% of fresh water is available for
consumption.
14. • It is estimated that one in three people over the
entire globe are already facing water shortages,
almost one-fifth of the world population live in
areas of physical water scarcity.
• Water scarcity is an increasing problem due to
many foreseen issues in the future, including
population growth, increased urbanization,
higher standards of living, and climate change.

hunger strike against large dams
20. Sampling of water
• Physical testing: Solids concentrations (e.g., total
suspended solids (TSS)) and turbidity.
• Chemical testing: Frequently used methods
include pH, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD),
chemical oxygen demand(COD).
• Biological testing: Biological testing involves the use
of plant, animal or microbial indicators to monitor
the health of an aquatic ecosystem. One example of
a group of bio-indicators are the copepods and other
small water crustaceans that are present in many
water bodies. Such organisms can be monitored for
changes (biochemical, physiological, or behavioral)
that may indicate a problem within their ecosystem.
