Introduction
• Bios-life, diversitas-variety or difference-
variety of life.
• Biological diversity refers to the variety and
variability among living organisms and the
ecological complexes in which they occur.
• Biodiversity can be defined as species
richness (plants, animals and micro-
organisms) occuring as a interacting system
in a given habitat.
Raymond F. Dasmann
• The term biological
diversity was used first by
wildlife scientist and
conservationist Raymond F.
Dasmann
• The term's contracted
form biodiversity may have
been coined by W.G. Rosen
in 1985-Father of
biodiversity.
• We are still profoundly ignorant of the number of
species that live on our planet.
• Roughly 1.75 million species have been formally
described by science.
• Estimated range - from 3 million to 100 million.
Measuringbiodiversity
• Number of species on Earth-Still unsure
– Some areas remain little explored
(hydrothermal vents, rainforest canopies,
tropical soils).
– Many species are tiny and inconspicuous
(microbes, roundworms, protists, fungi…).
– Some species are very similar in appearance
(many taxa, even trees, birds, whales).
Measuring biodiversity
• India is known for its rich heritage of bio-diversity.
• It is one of the 17 mega-diverse countries in the world.
• With only 2.4% of the world’s area, India accounts 7-
8%of the Worlds recorded plants and animal species.
• India’s ten biogeographic zones posses an exemplary
diversity of ecological habitats like alpine forests, grass
lands, wetlands, coastal and marine ecosystems and
desert ecosystems.
• India has 2 out of 34 global biodiversity hotspots,
which is an indicator of high degree of endemism(of
species) in India.
Biodiversity of India
• About 5,150 plant species and 1,837 animal
species are endemic to India.
• India’s biodiversity includes wild relatives of
agricultural crops and domesticated animals.
• India has 16 major types and 251 subtypes of
forests.
• Indigenous medicine system utilizes nearly
6,500 native plants for both human and
animal healthcare.
• Biodiversity performs a number of ecological
services for humankind that have economic,
aesthetic or recreational value.
• The values of biodiversity can be classified in
two broad categories,
 Direct use values
 Indirect use valves
Direct use Values
• Direct use values Benefits are derived from nature
and involve direct human interaction with natural
elements.
• Direct use value of biodiversity can be categorized
as…
 Consumptive use value.
 Productive use value.
Consumption of Biodiversity products are called
Consumptive use
Food
 Fuel
 Medicines
FOOD
Fuel
• Fire wood is a fuel
• Coal and petroleum are the fossil fuels.
• Gobar gas are obtained from cow dung.
Medicines
Another important category of medicinal uses is the Folk
medicine.
Our tribal and rural peoples have immense idea regarding
use of large number of plants as source of remedy for
large number of diseases.
Their knowledge regarding this is called as “Ethnobotany”
Productive Use Value
• Marketable items of biodiversity form the
productive use value.
• These products have become essential
commodity of people.
Timber
 Cultivation of trees for the timber - silviculture
Cotton
Dyes
Perfumes
Rubber
Benefits to mankind
• Industrial
materials:
– Paper
– Fibers
– Resins, gums
– Perfumes
– Adhesives
– Dyes
– Oils, waxes, rubber
– Agricultural
chemicals
• Recreational
harvesting:
– Hunting
– Fishing
– Pets
– Ornamental
plants
• Indirectusevalue=services providedby biodiversity thatare
notnormally given amarket value(oftenregardedasfree)
• These are ennumeratedasfollows:
• carbon fixation through photosynthesis.
• Pollination,geneflow,etc.
• Maintainingwatercycles, recharginggroundwater, protecting
watersheds and bufferingfromextreme conditions such as
protection from erosion.
Indirect value
Social value
• Social value of biodiversity refers to religious and
cultural importance.
• Trees are worshiped as God Eg: Banyan tree, peepal
tree.
• Flowers, Tulsi leaves are offered during poojas.
Aesthetic Valve
• The use of plants and animals is beautifying
the surrounding is said to be their Aesthetic
Value.
• Ornamental plants
• Zoos and Museum
• Parks
• Beautiful birds in cabinet.
