What to Focus On
- Bio-diversity includes genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity
- India has 8% of world's species on only 2.4% of world's land
- 45,000 plant species found in Indian forests
- Plants produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide
- Vegetation prevents soil erosion and controls floods
- Animals help in pollination and seed dispersal
- Increasing population creates more demand for resources
- Deforestation destroys natural habitats
- Over-harvesting reduces species populations
Common Mistakes to Avoid
