Deforestation involves clearing forests to obtain wood for fuel, construction, and making way for agriculture. This causes problems like increased carbon dioxide and global warming, loss of habitats, and increased temperatures. Drought is a prolonged shortage of water that damages ecosystems and agriculture. Desertification transforms fertile land into desert through processes like drought, deforestation and climate change. Conservation efforts aim to protect forests, wildlife, and biodiversity through practices like establishing biosphere reserves, national parks, and wildlife sanctuaries.
Deforestation involves clearing forests to use the land for other purposes like cultivation, construction, and fuel. This causes increased temperatures and pollution, higher carbon dioxide levels leading to global warming, reduced rainfall and water levels, and soil erosion. Forests and wildlife can be conserved by establishing biosphere reserves, national parks, and wildlife sanctuaries to protect natural habitats.
1. Forests have different layers of vegetation including a canopy layer of tall tree branches and leaves, an understory layer of shrubs and smaller trees, and a forest floor layer of mosses, liverworts, and fungi.
2. Forests provide important benefits such as producing oxygen, regulating climate, maintaining water cycles, preventing floods, and providing habitat for wildlife. Forests support complex food webs and allow nutrients to cycle through the ecosystem.
3. Deforestation threatens these benefits by increasing temperatures, disrupting wildlife habitats, causing more flooding, and endangering the environment. Efforts are needed to conserve forests and reduce deforestation.

Weather Climate and Adaptations of Animals to ClimateChirag Ahuja
The document discusses weather, climate, climate adaptation, polar regions, tropical rainforests, and the adaptations of animals in different climates. Weather refers to daily atmospheric conditions like temperature and rainfall, while climate describes average weather patterns over many years. Animals adapt to survive in the climates where they live through physical features and behaviors. Polar animals like bears and penguins have thick fur and fat to withstand cold, while tropical animals climb trees or have large beaks and camouflage to thrive in rainforests.
Deforestation leads to negative environmental consequences like increased temperatures and carbon dioxide levels, lower water levels, and reduced biodiversity. To conserve forests and wildlife, protected areas like biosphere reserves, national parks, and wildlife sanctuaries are established. These protect habitats and endemic species while allowing wildlife to roam freely. Projects like Project Tiger and conservation efforts like reforestation help protect endangered animals and restore destroyed forests.

The document discusses water resources on Earth. It notes that 71% of the Earth's surface is covered in water, most of which is undrinkable and located in oceans. Water cycles between solid, liquid, and gas states through natural processes. Liquid water is found in oceans, lakes, rivers, and underground. Groundwater exists below the water table and is replenished through infiltration. Increasing population, industries, agriculture, and deforestation are depleting water tables in some areas. Water management techniques like harvesting, traditional storage structures, and drip irrigation can help conserve this vital resource.
The water cycle describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. The sun's heat causes water to evaporate from oceans, rivers, and lakes. Water vapor condenses to form clouds and precipitation falls back to Earth as rain, snow, or sleet, completing the cycle. Most of the Earth's water is salty ocean water, while a small portion is fresh water found in rivers, lakes, glaciers, and groundwater. The movement of ocean water is driven by waves, tides, and currents which influence weather patterns and ocean life.
Here are the key differences between moist and dry deciduous forests:
- Moist deciduous forests receive higher rainfall between 100-200 cm, while dry deciduous forests receive lower rainfall between 75-100 cm.
- Moist deciduous forests are found in rainier areas like the Northeastern states, along the Himalayan foothills, Jharkhand, West Orissa, Chhattisgarh and the eastern slopes of the Western Ghats.
- Dry deciduous forests are found in less rainy parts of the peninsular plateau, plains of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, and have more open stretches between trees.
This document discusses wastewater, its sources and composition. It describes the wastewater treatment process which includes collection, screening, primary treatment to remove solids, secondary treatment using bacteria, disinfection, and final disposal. It also discusses stormwater drainage challenges during floods and better sanitation practices like vermicomposting toilets and septic tanks to treat sewage. The overall wastewater treatment process aims to remove contaminants and make water reusable or safe for release into water bodies.

Land is among the most important natural resources.
It covers only about thirty per cent of the total area of the earth’s surface and all parts of this small percentage are not habitable.
The uneven distribution of population in different parts of the world is mainly due to varied characteristics of land and climate.
The rugged topography, steep slopes of the mountains, low-lying areas susceptible to water logging, desert areas, thick forested areas are normally sparsely populated or uninhabited. Plains and river valleys offer suitable land for agriculture. Hence, these are the densely populated areas of the world.

This document summarizes the key concepts around the management of natural resources. It discusses sustainable development as meeting current human needs while preserving resources for future generations. Natural resource management is important to prevent overexploitation, consider environmental impacts, and ensure all people can benefit. The document then covers specific natural resources like forests, wildlife, water, and fossil fuels. It provides examples of different stakeholders and their roles. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of conservation and provides some steps individuals can take to reduce their impact.
The document discusses land, soil, water, vegetation and wildlife as natural resources. It states that land covers 30% of the earth's surface and is unevenly distributed. Factors like topography, climate and human activities determine land use and population distribution. Growing demands are threatening these resources through degradation, pollution and habitat loss. Conservation methods like afforestation, terracing, and protected areas aim to ensure sustainable use and management of natural resources.
Forest ecology is the scientific study of forest species and their interactions with the environment. Forest management involves administrative, economic, legal, scientific, and technical aspects of sustainably managing forests for various uses and values. Deforestation is the removal of forests, which damages habitats and biodiversity and can degrade the land. Wildlife conservation in India is important to preserve the country's rich biodiversity, as mandated by the Indian Constitution, despite questions around priorities given poverty in the country.
This document discusses coal, petroleum, and natural gas as exhaustible fossil fuels. It explains that coal was formed from plant matter that sank into swamps over 300 million years ago and was subjected to heat and pressure. Coal can be categorized into types based on carbon content and properties. Petroleum was formed from marine organisms buried under layers of sediment. Natural gas consists mainly of methane and was also formed from ancient organisms. The document also notes that fossil fuels are limited resources and their combustion causes environmental problems.
natural vegetation and wildlife presentation. In This presentation information about land,soil,climate activity and types of forest some map show wildlife sanctuaries , national park etc.
Deforestation is clearing forests for other land uses like agriculture, housing, and industry which causes environmental issues. It increases temperatures and carbon dioxide leading to global warming, lowers groundwater levels, and disturbs the natural balance. With fewer trees, less carbon dioxide is used, increasing amounts in the atmosphere and disturbing the water cycle which can lead to droughts. Removing topsoil exposes less fertile lower layers, causing desertification. Conservation efforts include biosphere reserves, national parks, and wildlife sanctuaries which protect biodiversity and wildlife habitats.
"what is Biodiversity ?" for school projectNagesh Agrawal
Deforestation involves clearing forests and converting the land to other uses like agriculture. It has significant negative impacts like loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, disruption of water cycles, and increased carbon emissions. While regeneration harvesting can be sustainable in some environments, large-scale deforestation causes habitat destruction and species extinction. Factors like population growth, exploitation of resources, and lack of environmental protection have contributed to ongoing deforestation issues around the world. Conservation efforts aim to preserve forests and wildlife through protected areas, anti-poaching laws, and management plans.

Deforestation poses major threats to biodiversity by reducing habitats and increasing temperatures and pollution. It disturbs the soil balance, increases floods and droughts, and enhances global warming. Governments establish protected areas like wildlife sanctuaries, national parks, and biosphere reserves to conserve plants, animals, and their habitats by prohibiting activities like hunting, poaching, and tree felling. Biosphere reserves aim to maintain biodiversity and local cultures by including other protected areas. They protect endemic species found exclusively within their boundaries.
Conservation of plants and animals.pptxSaketh Suhas
Deforestation is a major threat to plant and animal survival due to the cutting down of trees for cultivation, housing, and fuel. This leads to habitat loss and the release of greenhouse gases, contributing to global warming. Conservation efforts aim to protect forests and wildlife through national parks, breeding programs, and biosphere reserves which help maintain ecological balance and prevent environmental damage. Without conservation, species can become endangered, extinct, or threaten human existence.
Deforestation has led to many negative consequences like increased temperatures and pollution. It disturbs the balance of nature and can decrease rainfall and soil fertility over time. Reforestation efforts are needed to replant trees and restore forests that have been cut down. Government agencies establish protected areas like wildlife sanctuaries, national parks, and biosphere reserves to conserve forests and wildlife.
This document provides an overview of a class on conservation of plants and animals. It discusses topics like deforestation, its causes such as agricultural activities and logging, and its consequences including soil degradation and changes to climatic conditions. It also discusses reforestation and why it is needed to combat the huge areas of forests being damaged daily by deforestation. Reforestation can help improve quality of life by absorbing pollution, rebuilding habitats, and storing carbon to limit climate change. References used for the class include Wikipedia, Google Images, Arkive, and science texts.
Conservation of natural resources and environmenthome
The document discusses the importance of conserving natural resources and various methods of doing so. It covers:
1) The definition of resources and need for conservation as populations and consumption grow. Conservation involves proper management to prevent exploitation and degradation.
2) Reasons for conservation include maintaining ecological balance, preserving biodiversity, and ensuring availability of resources for current and future generations.
3) Traditional Indian practices respected nature and conserved resources through sacred forests and groves, demonstrating conservation's long history.
4) Methods of conserving specific resources like soil, water, biodiversity, and forests. Legislation in India also aims to protect the environment and natural resources.
Chapter 7 - Conservation of plants and animalsPooja M
National parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and biosphere reserves are established to protect biodiversity and endangered species. They prohibit activities like deforestation that endanger certain plants and animals. Deforestation reduces forests, disrupts ecosystems, and contributes to climate change. Conservation efforts include designating protected areas, reforestation, and public awareness of environmental issues.
The document discusses biodiversity, flora, and fauna found in India. It notes that India is home to a wide variety of plant and animal species due to its varying climate and habitats. However, many species are now endangered, vulnerable, or extinct due to habitat loss, invasive species, climate change, pollution, overhunting, and development projects. Conservation of forests and wildlife is important for ecological balance, economic benefits, and maintaining biodiversity, yet forest cover in India has significantly declined. The document outlines strategies that can help conserve remaining forests and wildlife, including reserved forests, protected areas, reforestation, controlling forest fires, and community involvement in protection efforts like Project Tiger.
1. “What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another.” ― MAHATMA GANDHI ―
2. “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed.” ― Mahatma Gandhi
3. The term “resource” means any thing that we use from our environment to achieve our objective. For example, we require bricks, cement, iron, wood etc. to construct a building. All these items are called the resources for construction of building. A resource can be defined as „any natural or artificial substance, energy or organism, which is used by human being for its welfare. These resources are of two types: Natural Resources Artificial Resources
4. “Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.” ― Gary Snyder
5. CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES As the human population is continuously growing the consumption of natural resources is also increasing. With the increasing industrialization and urbanization of the modern human society, the use of all the resources is rising. If they are not properly used and well managed, a serious scarcity will result. Therefore we need to conserve the natural resources. This will also upset the ecological balance. Conservation is the proper management of a natural resource to prevent its exploitation, destruction or degradation. Conservation is the sum total of activities, which can derive benefits from natural resources but at the same time prevent excessive use leading to destruction or degradation.
6. Need for Conservation of Natural Resources We know that nature provides us all our basic needs but we tend to overexploit it. If we go on exploiting the nature, there will be no more resources available in future. There is an urgent need to conserve the nature. Some of the needs are : to maintain ecological balance for supporting life. to preserve different kinds of species (biodiversity). to make the resources available for present and future generation. to ensure the survival of human race.
7. Conservation of Natural Resources and Traditions of India The need for conservation of natural resources was felt by our predecessors and in India, there was a tradition of respecting and preserving the nature and natural resources. Natural resources were conserved in the form of sacred groves/forests, sacred pools and lakes, sacred species etc. In our country the conservation of natural forests is known from the time of Lord Asoka. Sacred forests are forest patches of different dimensions dedicated by the tribal to their deities and ancestral spirits. Cutting down trees, hunting and other human interferences were strictly prohibited in these forests.
8. This practice is wide spread particularly in peninsular, central and eastern India and has resulted in the protection of a large number of plants and animals. Similarly, several water bodies, e.g., Khecheopalri lake in Sikkim was declared sacred by people, thus, protecting aquati
Deforestation has resulted in the clearing of six out of ten of Earth's original forests. It occurs for various reasons such as obtaining fuel, timber, and cleared land for agriculture. The removal of trees without sufficient reforestation has led to biodiversity loss, soil erosion, degraded wastelands, and the release of stored carbon into the atmosphere exacerbating climate change. Reforestation efforts need to focus on replenishing lost nutrients in soil in order to restore ecosystems and sustainability.
About 11,000 years ago, before humans learned agriculture, forests covered much of the Earth's land. Today, after widespread deforestation, forests cover only about one-fifth of the planet's surface. Deforestation occurs for many reasons like using trees for fuel, timber, or cleared land for livestock or agriculture. The large-scale removal of trees without replanting has damaged habitats and biodiversity while increasing carbon dioxide emissions and soil erosion. Currently 12 million hectares of forest are cleared annually.
An ecosystem consists of living organisms and their physical environment interacting as a system. It can be small, like a pond, medium sized like a forest, or large like the entire Earth. An ecosystem includes both biotic factors like producers, consumers, and decomposers, as well as abiotic factors like water, soil, and air. All parts of an ecosystem interact together.
The document discusses the importance of conserving natural resources and the various methods of doing so. It notes that as the human population grows, consumption of natural resources is also increasing. Conservation aims to prevent overexploitation and degradation of resources so they remain available for current and future generations. It outlines different strategies for conserving soil, water, forests, biodiversity, and provides examples of traditional Indian conservation practices as well as various Indian laws enacted to support conservation efforts. Children can play an important role in conservation by encouraging responsible practices and reducing pollution in both rural and urban environments.
This presentation discusses the importance of conserving plants and animals. It notes that deforestation is a major threat due to activities like clearing forests for agriculture and development. Deforestation leads to soil erosion, desertification, increased carbon dioxide levels, and disruptions to the natural environment. The government has established several protected areas like national parks, sanctuaries, and biosphere reserves to preserve biodiversity and habitats of endangered species. Specific protected areas mentioned include Nagarhole National Park, Bandipur National Park, and Coringa Wildlife Sanctuary. The Red Data Book provides information about endangered plants and animals globally. Conservation efforts are needed to protect natural assets for future generations.
1. The document discusses biodiversity, which refers to the variety of life forms within an ecosystem. It notes that biodiversity exists at the genetic, species, and ecosystem levels.
2. It identifies several megabiodiversity countries and biodiversity hotspots, including the Western Ghats and Eastern Ghats in India.
3. Biodiversity is important for ecological, research, and economic reasons. It maintains ecosystems and supports the discovery of new products, while direct harvesting of plants and animals provides economic value. However, biodiversity is threatened by habitat destruction, killing of animals, invasive species, and pollution.

2. Deforestation
Procuring land for cultivation.
Building houses and factories.
Making furniture or using wood as fuels
Deforestation, the clearing or thinning of forests by
humans. Deforestation represents one of the largest
issues in global land use.They are cut down to obtain
wood for using fuel.The forest trees are cut down to
obtain more agricultural land for cultivation of crops
for the increasing population
Trees in the forest are cut for
some of the purposes-
3. Consequences of
deforestation
It increases the level of carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere.
They remembered that deforestation increases the
tempereature
and pollution level on the earth.
Loss of habitat of wild animals.
Increase in temperature and Global Warming.
The loss of trees and other vegetation can cause
climate change, desertification, soil erosion, fewer
crops, flooding, increased greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere, and a host of problems for indigenous
people.
4. Drought
Drought is shortly the unusual dryness of soil due
to the levels of rainfall. Drought occurs when
rainfall is significantly below average over a
prolonged period. It is an event of shortages in
the water supply, surface water, or groundwater.
A drought can last for years, months or days.
Shortage of water, Dry and hot winds, rise in
temperature, and consequent evaporation of
moisture from the ground contribute to
conditions of drought.Droughts also result in crop
failure too. Droughts have a major impact on the
ecosystem and agriculture of the affected
regions. Also, droughts harm the local economy
of the region. Droughts are considered a natural
disaster as it disturbs our whole ecosystem.
5. Desertification is the degradation process by
which a fertile land changes itself into a desert by
losing its flora and fauna, this can be caused by
drought, deforestation, climate change, human
activities or improper agriculture. ... Desertification
takes place when a particular type of biome
converts into a desert biome.It is caused by a
variety of factors, such as climate change and
human activities.
Desertification
6. Environmental Conservation.
Animal conservation.
Marine Conservation.
Human Conservation
Wildlife conservation refers to the practice of protecting wild
species and their habitats in order to maintain healthy wildlife
species or populations and to restore, protect or enhance
natural ecosystems.Wildlife conservation refers to the practice
of protecting wild species and their habitats in order to
maintain healthy wildlife species or populations and to restore,
protect or enhance natural ecosystems..
Here are some types of conservation-
Conservation of Forest
and Wildlife
7. Biosphere Reserve
BIOSPHERE RESERVE
Biosphere reserve are the areas meant for
conservation of biodiversity.for
examples:wildlife ,plant and animal
resources together wth traditional life of
all tribals.A biosphere may consists of
other protected areas such as National
Parks and Sanctuaries.
BIO DIVERSITY
Biodiversity provides functioning
ecosystems that supply oxygen, clean air
and water, pollination of plants, pest
control, wastewater treatment and many
ecosystem services. Recreation—many
recreational pursuits rely on our unique
biodiversity , such as birdwatching,
hiking, camping and fishing.
8. Pachmarhi Biosphere
Reserve is a non-use
conservation area and
biosphere reserve in the
Satpura Range of Madhya
Pradesh state he
conservation area was
created in 1999 by the
Indian government. It also
contains animals from the
himalayan peaks and from
the lower western ghats.
9. Maintains Ecological Balance
Expansion of Local Economies
Aesthetic Value
Flora:Flora: flora means the plants naturally occurring in a particular
area.EX:grasslands ,forests,flowering and non-flowering plants and
trees.
Fauna:Fauna means the animals naturally living in that
area.EX:- birds, animals, fish, insects, etc.
Importance of Flora and Fauna

10. Endemic Species:
Endemic species are those species
of plants and animals which are found
exclusively in a particular area.They are
not found found naturally anywhere
else. The plants and animals which are
found only in a particular area are said
to be endemic to that area.
Extinct Species:
The species which no longer exist
anywhere on the earth are called
extinct species. The extinct species
may be of animals or plants. A type of
animal which no longer exist on earth is
called an extinct
animals.Ex:Dinosaur,Dodo ,Woolly
Mammoth
Endemic and Extinct species
11. Wildlife Sanctuary
Wildlife sanctuaries provide protection and suitable
living conditions to wild animals. Sanctuaries are
places where killing (poaching) or capturing of
animals is strictly
prohibited.Wildlife sanctuaries are used to protect
and conserve wildlife in their natural habitats. It is also
known as a natural reserve, biosphere reserve or a
nature conservation area.
12. National Park
National parks provide a haven for wildlife away from
civilization. India has currently over 100 national parks
distributed across the country, stretching across various
biomes.
National parks are areas that aim to protect the natural
environment. They are also involved in public recreation and
enjoyment activities.
National park is a protected territory that is formed by the
governing bodies to preserve wildlife and evolve them.
A national park is a relatively large area of scenic beauty
protected and maintained by the Government to preserve flora
and fauna, landscape, historic objects of the area and places of
scientific interest.
13. Project Tiger
Project tiger was launched by the goverment to protect
the tigers in the country.The objective of this project was to
ensure the survival and maintence of the tiger population
in the country.Project Tiger is a tiger conservation
programme launched in April 1 1973 by the Government of
India.
Project Tiger has been undertaken by more than fifty
national parks, and every park is putting an equal effort to
save the endangered species. Increasing four thousand
tigers in the past few years is one of the landmark
achievement of the project.
14. Endangered animals
and Ecosystem
ENDANGERED ANIMALS
An endangered species is a species (a
population) of animals, plants or other
organisms that is in danger of
becoming extinct. This could happen
because there are few of that animal
left, its predators have grown in
number, or the climate that it lives in is
changing, or the places it lives in have
been destroyed.
An ecosystem is made of all the
plants,animals and microorganisms in an
area along with non-living components
such as climate,soil,river deltas etc.
Intresting facts about ecosystem:
*Coral reefs are beautifu and fragile
*Half of the world's species is live in
tropical rainforest.
*There is ecosystem even in big cities.
ECOSYSTEM
15. The Red Data Book is the state document established for documenting rare and
endangered species of animals, plants and fungi as well as some local sub-
species that exist within the territory of the state or country.
Red Data Book is the source book which keeps a record of all the endangered
animals and plants.
Some of the endangered species of animals listed in Red Data Book are Flying
squirrel,Indian giant squirrel, Black buck, Himalayan musk deer, Great Indian
rhinoceros, Snow leopard, Tiger etc.
Red Data Book-
16. Migration-
Migration-
Birds and animals travel from their own habitat to a
different habitat due to several reasons at a certain
period of the year.
This phenomenon is called migration and the
species that migrate are called migrators.
The movement of organisms in large numbers from one
place to another place is termed as migration. There are
many reasons for migration. The term migration is
mainly used to define regular and periodic movements
of the population away from or back to their place of
origin. OR
17. Recycling of Paper
Today over half of the total paper used by humans is collected and recycled.
Paper is considered to be the major component of solid waste and makes 50%
of the garbage in landfills.
What is the process of Recycling paper
Paper is recycled by taking it to the recycling plant where it is separated and then the
separated paper is cleaned and washed with soap to break it down. After breaking
down, it is exposed to heat and after some time it breaks down into cellulose.
Recycle is an essential method to minimize waste accumulation and reduce pollution.
We can recycle old newspapers, notebooks and used envelopes. Paper contaminated
with food, carbon paper and stickers cannot be recycled.
18. STEPS OF
RECYCLING PAPER

01
Paper is collected from different garbage bins
and is accumulated in a large garbage
container.
Then the paper is taken to the recycling
plant where the paper is segregated into
different grades.
Papers in different grades are then washed with
soap and water to remove ink, staples, and glue. It
is then mixed with water to create a slurry.
On adding some specific materials and chemicals
to the slurry, different paper products such as
cardboard, office paper, etc. can be obtained.
The slurry is then rolled into thin
sheets using large rollers.
Then the paper is exposed to heat for
drying up and after that, it is cut into
pieces and is made ready to use again.
19. Reforestation
What is Reforesation?
Reforestation is the process of regenerating or replanting forest
areas that have been destroyed or damaged for the benefits of
mankind. Occasionally forests have the capability to regenerate
due to the trees in the surroundings or due to the dispersion of
seeds. However, forest lands that are badly degraded cannot be
regenerated unless plants have been planted by using native
methods.
Importance of Reforestation-
Reforestation is a very important procedure in order
to save our planet. This is needed as huge forests are
being destroyed or damaged due to various reasons
on a daily basis. Removal of the green cover from the
surface of the earth has become common due to
various reasons such as forest fires, agricultural
needs, human needs, logging, and mining.
