The document discusses biodiversity and wildlife conservation. It defines biodiversity as the variety of life forms on Earth, including species, ecosystems, and genes. There are three main types of biodiversity: species diversity, ecosystem diversity, and genetic diversity. Biodiversity provides both consumptive value through resources like food and medicine, and non-consumptive value through benefits like recreation and research. Wildlife faces threats from habitat loss, overexploitation, invasive species, pollution, climate change, and more. India is home to significant biodiversity and many endangered species. The government plays an important role in wildlife conservation through laws and programs like Project Tiger to protect threatened species and their habitats.
