Our Natural Resources- Let’s Conserve
The conservation of environment implies the sustainable use as well as management of natural resources including wildlife, water, air, and soils of the earth.
Underlying Causes of Loss of Biodiversity
Varieties of Biological Resources are in international demand today. To meet this international demand, illegal smuggling of these resources is done through illegal routes. Some species of plants and animals have been threatened, rare, endangered or critically endangered due to such practices. Several valuable species of plants and animals have become extinct due to these activities. The international trade in animal body parts is increasing rather rapidly due to their high prices in the international markets. Where possible, the trade of whole animals is also in full swing.
