4. BIODIVERSITY WORD HISTORY Bio- life Diversity- variety HISTORY This term biodiversity was first coined by Lovejoy in 1980. DEFINITION The variety and variability of species of their population the variety of species of their life forms the diversity of complex association with species with their interaction and their ecological process which influences performance.

5. As defined in convention on Biodiversity signed at Rio De Jenerio (Brazil) in 1992; “Variability among living organism from all sources including inter-terrestrial, marine and equatic ecosystem and the ecological complexes of which the area part, this include diversity within the species, between species and of ecosystem”. The importance of this definition is that it draws attention to many dimensions of biodiversity. It explicitly recognizes that every biota can be characterized by its taxonomic , ecological and genetic diversity.

6. Flora and Fauna are so co-related Animal and Plants need not to be hated

7. TYPES OF BIODIVERSITY Species diversity Genetic diversity Ecosystem diversity SPECIES DIVERSITY “Group of individuals which interbreed freely and produce fertile offspring”. It refers to the variety of different living things. The members of same species usually do not breed with the members of another species. They have specific characteristics that distinguish them from other species.

8. GENETIC DIVERSITY It refers to the variety of between individuals of a species- characteristics passed down from parents to offspring. Individuals breed and produce offspring of new combination. It is for the survival of healthy population in natural communities. Some of the species have the characteristics, favourable t environment so they are more likely to survive. This is how the process of adaptation occur.

9. ECOSYSTEM BIODIVERSITY It refers to the variety of environment produces by the interplay of the biotic(plants and animals) and a-biotic(nonliving world; earth forms, rocks , air and water). Each ecosystem provides different kind of habitat. Different species have different role to play in different ecosystem which help them maintain their characteristics unique to that environment.

10. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT HISTORY This term was first used by ‘Brunt land Commission’. DEFINITION “The development that meets the need of present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”.

11. “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress is judged by the way its animals are treated.” Mahatma Gandhi

12. INTER-RELATION BETWEEN BIODIVERSITY AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELEOPMENT Biodiversity is the life insurance for sustainable development. Biodiversity is the foundation upon which human civilization has been built.

13. First, it supports the ecosystem function, essential for life on earth, such as the provision of fresh water, soil conservation and climate stability. Second, it provides products such as food, medicines and materials for industry. Finally, it is the heart of many cultural values.

14. Don’t let species go extinct… In this world, we all are LINKED

15. BIODIVERSITY IS ESSENTIAL FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Biodiversity directly supports many economic activities and jobs in diverse section such as agriculture, fisheries, forestry, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, biotechnology etc. FOOD: It depends on biodiversity and the services provided by ecosystems. It is the basis for soil fertility, pollination, pest control and other aspects for producing world’s food.

16. WATER: Clean and secure water supplies also depend on biodiversity. Forest protect water supplies, wetlands regulate flood, healthy soil increase water. HUMAN HEALTH: Biodiversity is essential for the regulation of immune response. It is the basis of traditional medicines, prescription drugs extracted from animals.

17. WILDLIFE CONSERVATION DEFINITION “Wildlife conservation is the practice of protecting wild plant and animal species and their habitat”. GOAL To ensure that nature ill be around for future generations to enjoy & also to recognize the importance of wildlife and wilderness for humans and other species alike.

18. WAYS OF CONSERVATION There are two ways of conserving the wildlife. In- sito conservation Ex- sito conservation IN-SITO CONSERVATION in- sito _____ on-site Protection of animal in nature. in protected area, nature resrves or national park etc.

19. EX-SITO CONSERVATION ex- sito ______ off-site When a specimen of a specie is kept in artificial condition. in botanical garden (flora), in animal zoo (fauna)

20. SUSTAINABLE USE OF WILDLIFE “The use of components of biodiversity in a way and at a rate that does not lead to the long term decline of biological diversity, thereby maintaining its potential to meet the needs and aspirations of future generations”.

21. STRATEGIES TO FOLLOW Determine the productive capacities of exploited species and ensure that utilization does not exceed those capacities. R educe excessive yield to sustainable levels. R educe incidental take as much as possible. Maintain the habitat of resource species. Regulate international trade in wild plants and animals

22. SUSTAINABLITY GOALS OF ORGANIZATIONS Many organizations are working on for sustainable development of wildlife. Some are; IUCN WWF IFAW AIM OF ORGANIZATIONS To maintain essential ecological processes and life support system T o preserve genetic material To ensure the sustainable utilization of species and ecosystem

23. Killing of animal to make a coat is sin. It wasn’t meant to be and we have no right to do it.

24. BOTTOM LINE Wildlife is our natural heritage. It should be conserved with all of its components. It should be utilized with a sustainable development because our life is directly connected with the wildlife.

25. Thank you!
