Biodiversity refers to the variety of living organisms on Earth. It exists at genetic, species, and ecosystem levels and took millions of years to accumulate. Species diversity stabilizes ecosystems and increases productivity, as shown in long-term experiments. Loss of species is likened to removing rivets from an airplane, eventually compromising its integrity. Biodiversity conservation has narrow economic, broad ecosystem, and ethical justifications and occurs in situ through protected areas and ex situ through zoos and seed banks. International conventions like the Convention on Biological Diversity promote global cooperation on these efforts.
The document discusses the importance of conserving natural resources. It notes that as human populations and consumption increase, proper management of resources is needed to prevent exploitation and ensure availability for future generations. Conservation involves sustainable use of resources to protect the environment and maintain ecological balance. Various Indian traditions also emphasized protecting nature through sacred groves and forests, and conservation continues to be important today.
Biodiversity hotspot, threats & its conservationJagan Kumar Ojha
This document discusses biodiversity hotspots and threats to biodiversity. It defines biodiversity hotspots as regions that are exceptionally rich in endemic species yet threatened by habitat loss. Two criteria are outlined to qualify as a hotspot: containing at least 1,500 endemic plant species and having lost at least 70% of primary vegetation. 25 global hotspots are listed, including the Eastern Himalayas and Western Ghats in India. Major threats include habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflicts. Conservation approaches of in situ and ex situ are described, along with examples like protected areas, gene banks, and projects like Tiger and Elephant.
This document provides definitions and overview information about the environment and environmental studies. It defines environment as the sum of surrounding conditions, including both biotic and abiotic factors, that influence living organisms. Environmental science is described as the interdisciplinary study of how living things interact with each other and their non-living surroundings. The key components of the environment - the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere - are also summarized. The document then discusses the relationship between humans and the environment and the impacts of technology before concluding with summaries of environmental degradation and sustainable development.
This document discusses natural resources and their classification. It defines natural resources as anything found in nature that can be used by people. Natural resources are divided into renewable and non-renewable categories. Renewable resources like air, water and forests can regenerate, while non-renewable resources like coal and minerals are limited. The document emphasizes the need for conservation and sustainable management of natural resources. It discusses various environmental issues caused by the over-exploitation of resources and ways to address them.
Natural resources are materials found in nature that are valuable to humans. Due to population growth and industrialization, demand for natural resources is increasing while availability is limited, requiring proper management. Key natural resources include forests, water, minerals, food, and land. Forests help regulate climate and provide habitat but are threatened by deforestation. Water resources like rivers face issues like flooding, drought, overuse, and pollution. Mining and dams can negatively impact forests and water. Food production relies on agriculture and risks like modern farming practices, population growth, and land degradation including desertification. Sustainable management of natural resources is needed to meet current and future human needs.
The document discusses ecosystem structure and function, focusing on terrestrial ecosystems like forests and grasslands. An ecosystem consists of biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) components that interact. Forest ecosystems have trees, shrubs, herbs as producers, and various herbivores, carnivores, and decomposers. Grassland ecosystems are dominated by grasses and herbs as producers, with grazing mammals, insects, and fungi/bacteria as consumers and decomposers. Ecosystems cycle nutrients and energy through trophic levels from producers to decomposers.
The document discusses the biosphere, natural resources, and air pollution. It defines the biosphere as the regions of earth and atmosphere occupied by living organisms, including the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. It categorizes natural resources as either inexhaustible like air and water or exhaustible renewable resources like forests and non-renewable resources like coal. It then discusses the composition of air and air pollution sources including particulate matter from both natural and human-made sources.

Major Forest Fires in Last Two Decades....pptxhemendrasingh88
The document discusses major forest fires that have occurred in the last two decades and their control strategies. It provides details on several large forest fires including the 1998 Florida forest fire, the 2003 California Cedar fire, and the 2016 Uttarakhand forest fire in India. Modern control strategies discussed include the use of aerial fire retardants, evacuation of people, establishing divisions and branches, and developing long-term objectives. The document also covers causes of forest fires, precautions that can be taken, and effects of forest fires.
Forest conservation involves maintaining and protecting forested areas through various steps:
1) Massive afforestation projects should plant trees in unused lands to increase forest coverage while preventing overgrazing, fires, and soil erosion.
2) Existing forests must be protected from insects, pests, and pollution through measures like controlled grazing, preventing fires, and reducing environmental contamination.
3) Awareness should be raised about the importance of forests through educational campaigns, celebrating events like Van Mahotsava, and following the guidelines of international environmental organizations.
The document discusses the connection between climate change and biodiversity, explaining that climate change is caused by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere. It also notes that climate change affects biodiversity through impacts like deforestation, infrastructure development and pollution. The document recommends ways to reduce climate change such as reducing waste, using public transportation, conserving energy and spreading awareness about the issue.
Natural resources include materials from the environment that are valuable to humans such as forests, water, and minerals. Humans use natural resources through either consumptive use, which reduces the available supply, or non-consumptive use, which does not. Overuse and mismanagement of natural resources can harm the environment through deforestation, water depletion, and depletion of mineral resources. Proper management of natural resources involves legislative protections, sustainable practices, and developing alternative resources.
This document discusses methods for planting and protecting tree saplings. It recommends selecting tree species based on location, using high-quality saplings from recognized nurseries, and planting during the rainy season. Proper planting methods include digging pits, adding compost, and watering regularly. Young trees require protection from animals, which can be provided through trenches, stone walls, iron guards, wire mesh, or wooden guards. Successful tree growth depends on selection, planting, watering, and protection.
Conservation of the environment is necessary to ensure a clean and healthy environment for future generations. Several actions can be taken to help improve the environment, such as simplifying one's lifestyle to reduce waste, using fewer tree products, and bringing reusable bags for shopping. Recycling is also an effective way to conserve the environment by converting waste materials into new objects and reducing pollution, energy usage, and water contamination from landfilling. The 3 R's of reduce, reuse, and recycle can significantly help environmental conservation through small individual actions that make a large collective impact.
This document discusses biodiversity and its conservation. It defines biodiversity as the variety of life on Earth, including genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity. Biodiversity is significant as it provides resources and ecosystem services that are important for human life and economies. The conservation of biodiversity aims to preserve species and habitats and use biological resources sustainably. Approaches to conservation include both in-situ methods within natural habitats like national parks and sanctuaries, and ex-situ methods outside of natural habitats in facilities like seed banks, botanical gardens, and zoos. The document provides details on various in-situ and ex-situ conservation methods and their objectives.

This document discusses forest ecology, management, and conservation. Forest ecology is the scientific study of forest ecosystems, including biotic and abiotic components. Forest management involves sustainable practices like afforestation, reforestation, and preventing wildfires. Conservation aims to protect forests for future generations through activities such as afforestation, limiting tree cutting and overgrazing, controlling pests and erosion, reducing pollution, and enforcing laws protecting parks and reserves.
Evergreen forests are dominated by cone-bearing trees and shrubs that retain their foliage all year round. These forests thrive in areas with mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers such as the coastal regions of the Mediterranean, western North America, and southeastern Australia. Common evergreen tree species include pine, fir, spruce, redwood, and eucalyptus trees that have adapted to withstand long periods without losing their leaves.
This document discusses plant conservation and biotechnology. It covers various topics related to biodiversity and conservation, including the importance of biodiversity, causes of biodiversity loss, and methods of conservation both in situ and ex situ. For in situ conservation, it describes different types of protected areas in India such as biosphere reserves, national parks, tiger reserves, and wildlife sanctuaries. For ex situ conservation, it discusses various methods like gene sanctuaries, seed banks, field gene banks, and tissue culture storage. The overall document provides an overview of biodiversity conservation approaches and the role of biotechnology in plant conservation.
Environment or Habitat – the surroundings of the living species. Environment consists of both living and non-living things.
Living things - such as animals, plants, etc and non-living things such as land, soil, water etc.
Effect of deforestation on tribal peopleDeepa Pujari
Deforestation negatively impacts tribal peoples in several ways. It destroys their homeland and traditional ways of life by affecting food and water sources. Tribal peoples rely on hunting and do not have modern technologies, so the loss of forests takes away their homes and means of survival without easy adaptation to urban lives. Deforestation also causes tribal peoples to lose their unique cultures, beliefs, knowledge, and abilities to live in harmony with the forest that their ancestors sustained for generations. While tribal peoples are historically effective stewards of the environment, deforestation threatens their rights and roles as natural guardians.
Biodiversity provides both direct economic value through consumptive and productive uses as well as indirect social, ethical, and option values. Consumptive use value refers to goods obtained directly from the environment for local survival like fuelwood, while productive use value applies to goods harvested from the environment and sold in markets like timber. Biodiversity also has social value in improving living standards and cultural pride. Additionally, biodiversity has an option value in potentially providing future benefits through undiscovered medical or other uses, as new technologies and demands emerge.

Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth, including plants, animals and microorganisms. The document discusses biodiversity at the global, national and local levels. It also outlines several threats to biodiversity such as habitat destruction, pollution, invasive species, overexploitation, and poaching. Conservation efforts aim to protect biodiversity through both in-situ and ex-situ methods.
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
The modification of an existing product or the formulation of a new product to fill a newly identified market niche or customer need are both examples of product development. This study generally developed and conducted the formulation of aramang baked products enriched with malunggay conducted by the researchers. Specifically, it answered the acceptability level in terms of taste, texture, flavor, odor, and color also the overall acceptability of enriched aramang baked products. The study used the frequency distribution for evaluators to determine the acceptability of enriched aramang baked products enriched with malunggay. As per sensory evaluation conducted by the researchers, it was proven that aramang baked products enriched with malunggay was acceptable in terms of Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color, and Texture. Based on the results of sensory evaluation of enriched aramang baked products proven that three (3) treatments were all highly acceptable in terms of variable Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color and Textures conducted by the researchers.

Trichogramma spp. is an efficient egg parasitoids that potentially assist to manage the insect-pests from the field condition by parasiting the host eggs. To mass culture this egg parasitoids effectively, we need to culture another stored grain pest- Rice Meal Moth (Corcyra Cephalonica). After rearing this pest, the eggs of Corcyra will carry the potential Trichogramma spp., which is an Hymenopteran Wasp. The detailed Methodologies of rearing both Corcyra Cephalonica and Trichogramma spp. have described on this ppt.
