Why has the Conservation of Biodiversity become a prime requirement of today?

Biodiversity means the mixture of all living things on Earth, including plants, animals, and microorganisms. It’s important because it keeps nature balanced and provides us with necessary materials like food, clean air, and medicine. 

India is losing its rich diversity at a very high rate as a result of both environmental changes and human activity.

  1. Climate change is making matters worse.
  2. Pollution affects both plants and wildlife by contaminating soil, water, and air, particularly from industry, plastic trash, and pesticides.
  3. Elephants, rhinos, and tigers are among the species that have been negatively affected by overhunting and poaching which is the driving force behind their extinction.
  4. Excessive fishing decreases the production of fish and harms marine biodiversity.
  5. When species that are not native to a habitat are introduced to ecosystems, they often compete against the native plants and animals for food which disturbs the natural balance.
