What does “Diversity”
means?

4. INTRODUCTION
The term Biodiversity was first coined by Walter G. Rosen in
1986.
The biosphere comprises of a complex collections of innumerable
organisms, known as the Biodiversity, which constitute the
vital life support for survival of human race.
Biological diversity, abbreviated as biodiversity, represent the
sum total of various life forms such as unicellular fungi,
protozoa, bacteria, and multi cellular organisms such as plants,
fishes, and mammals at various biological levels including
gens, habitats, and ecosystem .

5. There are three types of biodiversity
 Diversity of Species
 Diversity of
Ecosystem
 Diversity of Genes

6. BENEFITS OF BIODIVERSITY
Consumptive value:
 Food/Drink
 Fuel
 Medicine
 Batter crop varieties
 Industrial Material
Non-Consumptive Value:
 Recreation
 Education and Research
 Traditional value

7. Ecological services:
Balance of nature
Biological productivity
Regulation of climate
Degradation of waste
Cleaning of air and water
Cycling of nutrients
Control of potential pest and disease causing species
Detoxification of soil and sediments
Stabilization of land against erosion
Carbon sequestration and global climate change
Maintenance of Soil fertility

8. THREATS TO BIODIVERSITY
Natural causes:
 Narrow geographical area
 Low population
 Low breeding rate
 Natural disasters
Anthropogenic causes:
 Habitat modification
 Overexploitation of selected
species
 Innovation by exotic species

9.  Pollution
 Hunting
 Global warming and climate
change
 Agriculture
 Domino effect

10. CONCLUSION
Biodiversity is our life. If the Biodiversity got lost at
this rate then in near future, the survival of human
being will be threatened. So, it is our moral duty to
conserve Biodiversity as well our Environment. Long-
term maintenance of species and their management
requires co-operative efforts across entire landscapes.
Biodiversity should be dealt with at scale of habitats or
ecosystems rather than at species level.

Conservation

12. The Constitution of India [Article-51-A (g)]
- Fundamental Duties
It shall be the duty of every citizen of India,
to protect and improve the natural environment
including forests, lakes, rivers and wildlife, and to
have compassion for living creatures.

14. What is
Wildlife ??

15.  Wildlife includes all non-
domesticated plants, animals and
other organisms.
 Domesticating wild plant and
animal species for human benefit
has occurred many times all over
the planet, and has a major impact
on the environment, both positive
and negative.
 Wildlife can be found in all
ecosystems. Deserts, rain forests,
plains, and other areas including
the most developed urban sites,
all have distinct forms of wildlife.
 While the term in popular culture
usually refers to animals that are
untouched by human factors, most
scientists agree that wildlife
around the world is impacted by
human activities.

17. Habitat Destruction
• Second most critical
factor in
species extinction.
 There now 20%
less forest cover
than
existed 300 years ago

18. Poaching and hunting
 Another major cause of animal species extinction.
 Poaching and illegal trade in animals are US$2
billion to $3 billion

19. National and International Wildlife Trade
 Pet Trade
 Fur Trade
 Meat Trade
 Body Parts Trade
 T Trade for Biomedical Research

20. Effects of Wild Life
Depletion

21. 1) 1.Unbalance Food chain
and Ecosystem
2) Reduction in rare
Wild Animals

22. 3) Danger to Human Life
4) Impact on Biodiversity

23. 5) Loss of economic value
6) Loss genetic information

25. Bio-Diversity of India
 Wildlife of India is a mix of species of diverse origins.
 India is home to a number of rare and threatened animal
species.
 Home to about 7.6% of all mammalian, 12.6% of avian,
6.2% of reptilian, and 6.0% of flowering plant species.
 Tropical rainforest of the Andaman Islands, Western
Ghats, and Northeast India, coniferous forest of the
Himalaya. dry deciduous forest of central and southern
India.

26. ENDANGERED SPECIES OF ANIMALS
MAJESTIC ELEPHANTS THE INDIAN BISON HISPID HARE SNOW LEOPARD
SWAMP DEER BLUE WHALE DESERT CAT LEAF MONKEY

27. How to protect endangered animals?
 To save endangered animals, conserve the
habitat by embracing practices that do not
harm the environment. Such practice
includes reuse of indecomposable material if
you cannot use materials that can be
decomposed. Joining lobby groups to push
the world for a cleaner and greener
environment.

28. ENDANGERED SPECIES OF
PLANTS
Dionaea muscipula
Mammillaria hahniana Pogonia ophioglossoidesGuaiacum santum Kokia drynarioides
Glandularia tampensis Heliconia angusta Magnolia ashei

29. How to protect endangered plants?
 Biodiversity is the variety of life. Saving endangered
species (plants) from becoming extinct and protecting
their wild places is crucial for our health and the future of
our children.
As species are lost so too are our options for future
discovery and advancement. The impacts of biodiversity
loss include clearly into fewer new medicines, greater
vulnerability to natural disasters and greater effects from
global warming.

30. Wildlife
Conservation

31. Govt role in conservation of wildlife
Wildlife protection act 1972
Project tiger 1972-73
Forest protection act 1980-88
A Anti poaching agencies
State wildlife dept
St State forest dept
Ministry of environment and forest
Army (IF APPLICABLE)
Police
Border security force
Coast guards
Wildlife conservation society

32. PROJECT TIGER
 Project Tiger is a wildlife conservation movement initiated in India in
1972
 The project aims at tiger conservation in specially constituted tiger
reserves throughout India

33.  Creation of wildlife sanctuaries and reserves with mandatory fencing
 Special task force be prepared for preservation of this supreme predator
 No forestry operations carried out in core areas
 Dept be provided with additional personal and wireless equipment with
an immediate effect
 Rehabilitation of locals done outside the reserve forest with immediate
effect
 Immediate compensesation to villagers in case of kill made by tiger
 Immediate seize of weapon license from villagers given before 1972
unless prescribed officially.

34. STOP BUYING WILDLIFE PRODUCTS & CONSERVE NATURE

35. Conclusion
 Increased understanding about the world’s
current wildlife situation and an increased
emphasis on education will give future
generations an opportunity to experience
nature to its fullest extent.
