Smart Innovations for Biodiversity Conservation

Sameer ., Sama Jain, Sushil Kumar

Abstract


Biodiversity, or the vast diversity of life on Earth, is rapidly vanishing. In the last few decades, there has been a massive loss. Several animal and plant species have declined in recent decades. At an alarming rate, hundreds of thousands of acres of forests have been devastated. Several blue whales, polar bears, pandas, and other well-known animals starved to death. Many yet-to-be-discovered species are also in jeopardy. In recent years, there has been a significant decrease in the number of forests. Surviving species on the planet have a wide range of options for living in diverse settings, each with its own set of behaviors. So, biodiversity is crucial for us. We must preserve it. Humans should find ways to restore balance to our environment. We've identified several contributing factors to the decline in biodiversity, which we can divide into five categories: - land and sea use, pollution, overexploitation of species, changes in the climate, and diseases caused by invasive species. Conservation of diversity is a method for preserving species richness, species diversity, habitat diversity, ecological diversity, and genetic diversity. It maintains our health, prosperity, food, fuel, and services. It shows its vitality in supporting many aspects of development. Here are some innovative and creative ways to aid in the fight against biodiversity loss.
