proud of our country’s natural bounty and unique bio-diversity. India is amongst the rare countries where major biomes of the world are represented. India is one among the twelve countries where 60-70% of the world’s total biodiversity exists. India has two out of the 18 biodiversity hot spots in the world. India has rich traditional knowledge and wisdom in the conservation of nature and natural resources. Religious beliefs‚ culture and folklore have together treated nature and environment with

It is a well-known fact that overpopulation has become a crucial case all over the world. Many researches have been done about results of population growth so far and they bring questions in their wake such as “What are the effects of overpopulation to sustainable resources and how to prevent from its results to the future?” Researchers consider about the main needs of people because population growth is an unignarable case for many years. Although‚ natural resources would be used for several decades

One service that is being subjected to decline by human influence is the detoxification and decomposition of waste products. The ability of ecosystems to maintain biodiversity is also subject to this decline. Sunlight contains three divisions of ultraviolet radiation; UVA‚ UVB‚ and UVC (which does not reach the Earth’s surface). The lower stratosphere of the Earth contains oxygen that absorbs the majority of the harmful

however. One of the examples are wildlife sanctuaries. They provide a natural environment for these species and do not lock up the animals like prisoners – instead‚ they roam freely like how they should be (like a sanctuary). They also provide biodiversity and protect them from harm. Additionally‚ PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals)‚ the world’s leading animal rights organization‚ are against zoos.

Nature has dealt with the conditions and maintains the flow of solar energy‚ biodiversity‚ population control‚ and nutrient cycling through these obstacles for billions of years (Miller & Spoolman‚ 2009‚ p. 23). In the midst of these harsh times‚ each individual is responsible for the prevention of these conditions. For example
