Ms. Meenakshi Jhanwar

Abstract

A vital component in preserving the diversity of species on Earth and preserving ecological function is biodiversity conservation. This summary gives a general overview of the significance of biodiversity protection and emphasises the major discoveries and deductions made from in-depth study. The enormous variety of plant and animal species, genetic diversity, and environmental diversity are all included in the concept of biodiversity. It offers a wide range of ecological, monetary, and cultural advantages, including as food security, ecosystem services, and the development of novel drugs. The loss of biodiversity has been caused by human actions such habitat destruction, pollution, climate change, and overexploitation. The goal of biodiversity conservation is to save and sustainably manage species, ecosystems, and genetic resources. It encompasses a number of tactics, including as the creation of protected areas, habitat restoration, the reintroduction of species, and the encouragement of sustainable land and resource management techniques. For efficient biodiversity protection, cooperation between governmental entities, organisations, local communities, and people is essential.
