BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION

*Dr. Anil. J. Gour

ABSTRACT

Biodiversity refers to the diversity of all kinds of life on Earth, including plants, animals, microorganisms, their genes, and the ecosystems they create. There are three layers of diversity to consider: species diversity, genetic diversity, and ecological diversity. Biodiversity is important in a number of ways, including promoting the aesthetic value of the natural environment, contributing to our material well-being through utilitarian values, and maintaining the integrity of the environment through; maintaining CO2/O2 balance, regulation of biochemical cycles, absorption and breakdown of pollutants and waste materials through decomposition. Determination and regulation of the natural world climate, as well as protection services, such as acting as windbreaks and environmental indicators. Despite the benefits of biodiversity, today's threats to species and ecosystems are at an all-time high, and nearly all of them are the result of human mismanagement of biological resources, which is often exacerbated by misguided economic policies, pollution, and faulty institutions, in addition to climate change. It is critical to protect biodiversity in order to ensure intragenerational and intergenerational equity. Zoological gardens, botanical gardens/arboretums, seed banks, national parks and game reserves are some of the extant biodiversity conservation strategies.
