Essay Questions<\/span><\/p>\n

Question 1.
\nExplain the measures to be taken to conserve Biodiversity.
\nAnswer:
\nWe read in the earlier chapters about how various human activities are damaging biodiversity. If we do not act immediately to protect biodiversity, life will cease on earth. Conservation of Biodiversity comprises the measures man should take to protect biodiversity and prevent damage to its components. The objective of such conservation is to protect species, their habitats and their ecosystems from excessive rates of extinction and the erosion of biotic interactions. The conservation of ecosystems saves large numbers of species which might otherwise, be endangered and also preserves the support systems that maintain life.<\/p>\n

Global, national and local efforts are needed to achieve conservation of biodiversity. Conservation can be of two types a) in-situ conservation b) ex-situ conservation.<\/p>\n

I. In Situ Conservation :
\n‘In-situ’ is a Latin phrase which means’ in the original palce or arrangement’. The conservation of species in their natural habitat or natural ecosystem is known as in situ conservation. In this process, the natural surroundings or ecosystems are protected and maintained so that all the constituent species (known or unknown) are conserved and benefited. The factors which are detrimental to the existence of species concerned are eliminated by suitable mechanisms.<\/p>\n

There are different types of protected areas and sites of conservation in India, based on the level of protection provided and the amount of human intervention allowed.<\/p>\n

Modes of In situ Conservation :
\nTypes :<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. National Parks<\/li>\n
  2. Wild Life Sanctuaries<\/li>\n
  3. Conservation and Community Reserves<\/li>\n
  4. Marine Protected Areas Sanctuary<\/li>\n
  5. Biodiversity Heritage Sites<\/li>\n
  6. Biosphere Reserves<\/li>\n
  7. Sacred grooves<\/li>\n
  8. Ramsar sites.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    1) National Parks :
    \nA National park is a protected area aimed at betterment of wild life. There are 103 National parks in India 5 are situated in Telangana.

    2) Wild Life Sanctuaries :
    \nSeveral forests have been declared as reserve forests and protected. Several lakes where birds migrate have been recognised as birds, sanctuaries. In these areas, natural habitat of birds has been preserved. Poaching of Birds hunting their eggs are prohibited. In India there are 543 wild life sanctuaries. Out of this, 9 are situated in Telangana.<\/p>\n

    2. Etuari Nagaram Sancturary – near Warangal.<\/li>\n
    3. Kinnerasani Sanctuary – near Khammam.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      3) Conservation and Community Reserves :
      \nConservation reserves and community reserves in India are terms denoting protected areas of India which typically act as buffer zones to or connectors and migration corridors between established national parks, wild life sanctuaries, protected and reserved forests in India.<\/p>\n

      Important Community Reserves in India :
      \nThungabhadra otter Reserves – Karnataka, Jower Tunnel – Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n

      4) Marine protected areas :
      \nMarine Protected Area (MPA) is essentially a space in the ocean where human activities are more strictly regulated than in the surrounding waters- similar to parks we have on land. These places are given special protection for natural or historic marine resources. There are 25 in peninsular India and 106 in the islands of India.<\/p>\n

      Some marine protected areas in India are :<\/p>\n
