Conservation of Biodiversity
The protection, preservation, and management of ecosystems and natural habitats refers to biodiversity conservation and ensuring that they are healthy and functional.
The protection, upliftment, and scientific management of biodiversity refer to the conservation of biodiversity so as to maintain it at its threshold level and derive sustainable benefits for the present and future generation.
The following are the three main objectives of Biodiversity Conservation-
- To protect and preserve species diversity.
- Ensuring sustainable management of the species and ecosystems.
- To prevent and restore the ecological processes and life support systems.
