Conservation of Biodiversity

This is the management of natural resources to yield the greatest sustainable benefit to the present generation and meet future generations' needs.

CONSERVATION STRATEGIES:

Some proposed steps to protect the wildlife are:

• Protection: Of useful animals and plants.
• Preservation of critical habitats: Of plants and animal species for their growth and multiplication.
• Management of air, water, and land (life support systems).
• Hunting should be regulated and restricted whenever needed.
• Hunting of young animals threatened species in restricted areas and breeding season should be restricted.
• Over exploitation of useful products of wildlife should be avoided.
• The species and ecosystem should not be exploited beyond their productive capacity.
