The Creation of New Protected Areas

1.
The creation of new protected areas:

Such as nature reserves, and national and regional parks, as well as the conservation of existing
ones
2. Fighting deforestation: And habitat depletion
3. Fighting pollution of the atmosphere, water and soil
4. The promotion of environmentally friendly and sustainable agricultural practices, for
example by reducing the use of pesticides and other harmful substances.
5. Promoting sustainable management practice for natural resources, such as timber and
water, and opposing intensive fishing.
TEN CONSERVATIVE STRATEGY ON BIODIVERSITY

1. All the varieties of food, timber plants, livestock, microbes and agricultural animals
should be conserved.
2. All the economically important organisms should be identified and conserved.
3. Unique ecosystem should be preserved first
4. The resources should be utilized efficiently
5. Poaching and hunting of wild animals should be prevented
6. The reserves and protected areas should be developed carefully
7. The levels of pollutants should be reduced in the environment
8. Deforestation should be strictly prohibited
9. Environmental laws should be followed strictly
10. Public awareness should be created regarding biodiversity conservation and its
importance
In details
Biodiversity conservation refers to the protection, upliftment and management of biodiversity in
order to derive sustainable benefits for present and future generations.

WHAT IS BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION
Biodiversity conservation is the protection and management of biodiversity to obtain resources
for sustainable development.
BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION HAS THREE MAIN OBJECTIVES

1. To preserve the diversity of species
2. Sustainable utilization of species and ecosystem
3. To maintain life-supporting system and essential ecological process
BIODIVERSITY AND ITS CONSERVATION METHODS

Biodiversity refers to the variability of life on earth. It can be conserved in the following;
 In-Situ conservation
 Ex-Situ conservation
1. In-Situ conservation
Biodiversity is the conservation of species within their natural habitat. In this method of
natural ecosystem is maintained and protected.
The In-Situ conservation has several advantages, following are important advantages of In-
Situ conservation
 It is a cost-effective and convenient method of conserving biodiversity.
 A large number of living organisms can be conserved simultaneously
 Since the organisms are in a natural ecosystem, they can evolve better and can easily
adjust to different environmental conditions.
Certain protected areas where In-Situ conservation takes place include national parks, wildlife
sanctuaries and biosphere and reserves.
NATIONAL PARKS:
These are small reserves maintained by the government its boundaries are well demarcated and
human activities such as grazing, forestry, habitat and cultivation are prohibited for example,
Kanhai National park, Bandipur national park.
WILDLIFE SANCTUARIES
These are the regions where only wild animals are found. Human activities such as timber and
other forest product are allowed there as long as they do not interfere with the conservation
projrct. Also tourists visit these places for recreation.
BIOSPHERE RESERVES:
They are multipurpose protected areas where the wildlife, traditional lifestyle of the inhabitants
and domesticated plants and animals are protected, tourist and research activities are permitted
there.
EX-SITU CONSERVATION
Ex-Situ conservation of biodiversity involves the breeding and maintenance of endangered
species in artificial ecosystem such as zoos, nurseries, botanical gardens, gene banks etc. there is
less competition for food, water, and space among organisms.
Ex-Situ conservation has the folloeing advantages;
1. The animals are provided with a longer time and breeding activity
2. The species breed in captivity can be reintroduced in the wild.
3. Genetic techniques can be used for preservation of endangered species.
CONCLUSION:
WHY SHOULD YOU CONSERVE BIODIVERSITY?
It is believed that an area with higher species abundance has more stable environment compared
to an area with lower species abundance. We can further claim the dependency on the
environment. We depend directly on various species of plants for our various needs. Similarly,
we depend on various species of animals and microbes for different reasons.
Biodiversity is being lost due to loss of habitat, over-exploitation of resources, climatic changes,
pollution, invasive exotic species, diseases, hunting etc. since it provides us with several
economic and ethical benefits and adds aesthetic value, it is very important to conserve
biodiversity.
