Why we need to conserve the …

1. Conservation preserves the ecological diversity and our life support systems - water, air and soil.
2. It also preserves the genetic diversity of plants and animals for better growth of species and breeding.
3. We humans along with all living organisms form a complex web of ecological system in which we are only a part and very much dependent on this system for our own existence.

All the component of the environment are interdependent. Any change in one component may affect all the other component . So , we need to conserve biodiversity for our survival and to maintain the natural ecological balance.

Wildlife is a precious gift of God to this planet. The term ‘wildlife’ not only caters to wild animals but also takes into account all undomesticated lifeforms including birds, insects, plants, fungi and even microscopic organisms. For maintaining a healthy ecological balance on this earth, animals, plants and marine species are as important as humans. Each organism on this earth has a unique place in food chain that helps contribute to the ecosystem in its own special way. But, sadly today, many of the animals and birds are getting endangered. The natural habitats of animals and plants are being destroyed for land development and farming by humans. Poaching and hunting of animals for fur, jewellery, meat and leather are other great factors contributing to wildlife extinction. If soon, no stringent steps are taken to save wildlife, it would not be long when they will find a place only on the list of extinct species. And that would not be all! The extinction of wildlife species will certainly have a fatal impact on human race as well. So, for us as humans, it becomes a great responsibility to save the wildlife, our planet and most importantly, our own selves.
