Natural resources constitute both living and non-living resources. Non-living resources are renewable and non-renewable.
The predominant features that create structural complexity in the environment, such as plants or animals are called as a habitat.
A process, in which natural habitat is rendered functionally unable to support the plants and animals occupying it, is named as Habitat destruction. In the process of habitat destruction, plants and animals that previously used the place are displaced or destroyed, reducing biodiversity.
All biosphere ecosystems have well-organized functions, such as cycling nutrients through food chains, operating biogeochemical cycles, and maintaining the energy flow received by green plants through solar radiation.
Producers in running or Lotic type of ecosystem comprise species of algae, and plants that grow on embankments. Various varieties of molluscs, tadpoles, and insects are primary consumers whereas fish, crabs, and crustaceans are secondary consumers of this ecosystem. Numerous species of bacteria and few species of fungi act as decomposers in this ecosystem.
Conservation of species in their natural habitats- in areas where they occur under normal conditions is called in-situ conservation.
This type of conservation strategy protects the entire area. Such an area is protected and maintained to conserve all the known or unknown species inhabiting it.
In this type of conservation, species are not isolated or provided with health care, food, or mating facilities. Only factors detrimental to species’ existence and development are eliminated in this conservation strategy. Human interference, such as hunting, cutting down trees, collecting firewood, etc., is completely banned in such areas.
A forest is a highly complex and constantly changing environment. It is made up of a variety of living things like wildlife, trees, shrubs, wildflowers, ferns, mosses, lichens, fungi and microscopic soil organisms; and non-living things such as water, nutrients, rocks, sunlight and air. Trees are the biggest part of this complex community.
There have been a number of environmental movements in India through which people have been protesting for conservation of forests and other natural resources. Here some important People’s Movements have been introduced in brief.
