Endangered Species :

Concept:

The endangered species are those living organisms which are almost on the verge of extinction. Thousands of species of plants and animals are endangered and the number increases each year.

Causes for species becoming endangered

CAUSES

Destruction of

habitat

Wildlife trade

Overhunting

Effects On Nature

Disruption of food chains and food webs.

Their absence hampers national wealth.

Affects national biodiversity.

Ecological Imbalance.

Case study for endangered species

Endemic Species

Concept :The concept of Endemism

was first given by (CANDOLLE). When a species is found

only in a particular geographical region because of its isolation, soil and climatic conditions, it is said to be endemic.

Causes for Endemism

CAUSES

Narrow ecological amplitude. Poor

adaptability.

Geographical barriers.

Changing climatic

conditions.

Case study for endemic species

The Indian Desert: Mangrove Trees – Mangrove roots

provide support to unstable soils and withstand currents and storms.

Endemic Plants

Conservation TechniquesThe steps for the conservation of the existing species are:Proper planning and management should be made to preserve wildlife in their habitat and in zoos and sanctuaries.

The feeding, breeding and nursing of the species should be safeguarded.

Establishment of sanctuaries and national parks with optimum living conditions is necessary.

Proper legislative and administrative measures should be taken to regulate international trade of the species.

OBJECTIVES OF OUR PROJECT

To create awareness as regards animal and plant wealth.

To arouse interest among masses about biodiversity conservation.

And lastly, playing our own role as a part of the environment.

you!
