Conserving Biodiversity - II

We should remember that we are one in million on this wondrous planet. There are ten millions of species in this world from which only two millions of species are identified. Humans are among only handful of species whose population are growing, while most animals & plants are becoming rarer.

The reason behind this is human being activities. With present approach to development, we have cut the forests, drained almost half of the world’s wetlands & emitted enough heat trapping gases to keep our planet warming.

Biodiversity known as variety of life on our planet, which gives us food, clothes, fuel, medicine etc. A world without biodiversity is a very bleak prospect. We may not think that a beetle in our backyard or grass growing by the roadside has a fundamental connection to us, but it does. Millions of people & millions of species are sharing the same planet, only together we can enjoy a safer & prosperous future.

These are some points we have to do for conserving biodiversity.

• We should use public transport instead of individual
• We should prevent water wastage.
• Use of air conditioner should be minimum
• Plant more & more trees.
