THIS IS A PRESENTATION, A TRIBUTE TO ALL EXTINCT SPECIES AND ANIMALS IN LOW POPULATION. THE PPT IS MADE USING THE DATA OBTAINED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES

1. PRESENTATION BY S.SRIVIDHYA
European
Environment
Agencies
The variety of
plant and
animal life in
the world or
in a particular
habitat.

2.  Because we are a part of it
 Indicators of healthy ecosystem
 We share and affect their locality
 All organisms play an important role
Why conserve
biodiversity?
Primary
strategy
Recover threatened species
Control emerging threats.

3. Threat to biodiversity
 Habitat destruction
 Over exploitation
 Introduction of exotic species
 Diseases
 Poaching of wild life - make the species distinct

4.  Organism that has had
its DNA altered or
modified in some way
through genetic
engineering.
 "transgenic" organisms
 Ex: golden rice
 process of producing
species with identical or
virtually identical DNA,
either naturally or
artificially.

5.  Protected environment to bio species
 515 wildlife sanctuaries in India
 Protection of land or coastal regions, ecosystems and
the genetic resources.
 Functions : conservation, eco development, research.
 Wildlife sanctuary, biosphere reserve program, etc.,

6. In vitro conservation is
done in liquid nitrogen
at a temperature of
-196°C.
Seed gene banks: easiest way
to store germplasm of wild and
cultivated plants at low temperature.
Field gene banks:
preservation of genetic
resources is being done under
normal growing conditions.

7.  They benefit pollinators like butterflies,
honeybees and birds.
 Linking plants with the well being of people and
also helping conserve indigenous and local
knowledge.

8. GENERAL VS INDIVIDUAL
MEASURES
 Avoiding of poaching
and hunting.
 Reducing pollutions.
 Public awareness and
education.
 Sugar for ants
 Inform corporation about
street dogs
 Kitchen garden
 Terrace garden
 Back yard
