BIODIVERSITY CSE-A
DEFINITION:

◼ BIO DIVERSITY REFERS TO THE TOTALITY OF SPECIES

POPULATION,COMMUNITIES,ECOSYSTEM,BOTH WILD
AND DOMESTIC THAT CONSTITUTE LIFE.

◼BIO=LIFE
◼DIVERSITY=VARIETY
OR VARIABILITY
CLASSIFICATION :

◼ BIODIVERSITY
MAINLY
DEPENDS ON
THREE
CATEGORIES:
◼ GENETIC
DIVERSITY
◼ SPECIES
DIVERSITY
◼ ECOSYSTEM
DIVERSITY
GENETIC DIVERSITY:
◼ VARIATION OF GENES WITHIN SPECIES
◼ Eg VARIATION IN EYE COLOUR, SKIN COLOUR, HAIR,
HEIGHT, WEIGHT etc
SPECIES DIVERSITY:

◼ VARIOUS RANGE OF SPECIES THAT EXIST ON

EARTH
◼ Eg BACTERIA, ALGAE, PROTOZOA etc
ECOSYSTEM DIVERSITY:

◼ DEFINITION: ◼ CLASSIFICATIO
◼ DIFFERENCE IN
N OF
ECOSYSTEM
◼ DIFFERENCE IN
ECOSYSTEM:
◼ FOREST
HABITAT
◼ DIVERSITY IN FOOD
◼ GRASSLAND
◼ DESERT

◼ DIVERSITY IN
◼ AQUATIC
◼ POLAR
PHYSICAL NATURE
FOREST ECOSYSTEM
GRASSLAND ECOSYSTEM:
DESERT ECOSYSTEM:
AQUATIC ECOSYSTEM:
POLAR ECOSYSTEM:
BIO GEOGRAPHICAL
CLASSIFICATION OF INDIA:
◼ Trans-Himalayas
◼ Himalayas
◼ Indian desert
◼ Semi-Arid
◼ Western Ghats
◼ Deccan Peninsula
◼ Gangetic Plain
◼ Coast
◼ Islands
VALUE OF BIO DIVERSITY:
◼ CONSUMPTIVE USE:
◼ Use of animals ,plants ,for the purpose of food
◼ ANIMALS:
◼ Animals mainly used for consumption are:
◼ FISH:
◼ It has become a new
kind of domesticated
animal

◼ PLANTS:
◼ Out of 150 species of
edible plants only 15
are most commonly
cultivated
PRODUCTIVE USE:

PESTICIDE:
The calabar beans are used as pesticide to
kill insects

MATERIAL:
Pyrethrum
Used in mosquito coils and lice killing
shampoo

MEDICINE:
Neem used in anti bacterial and anti fungal
creams, soaps ,shampoo etc.
 ENDEMIC SPECIES:
◼ UNIQUE SPECIES PRESENT IN SPECIFIC
REGION
NILGIRI LEAF MONKEY NILIGIRI TAHR

FOREST OWLET

BROAD TAIL GRASSBIRD BROWN PALM

CIVET
 THREATS TO BIODIVERSITY:
◼ Various threats to biodiversity are:
◼ Habitat Degradation-Destroying natural
habit ,deforestation destroys the ecosystem
◼ Invasion of non-native species-The extinction of
endemic species by other non native species
◼ Pollution-Pollution makes the habitat unfit for living
◼ Over-exploitation of resource-Over harvesting ,
fishing, hunting , logging leads to endangered species
◼ Global environmental change-Change in weather,
Global warming ,floods, drought, ice storms
ENDANGERED SPECIES:
◼ GLOBALLY THREATENED SPECIES FOR
EXTINCTION
SLENDER LORIS RED PANDA

BENGAL TIGER

LION TAILED MACAQUE BLACK BUCK

EXTINCT SPECIES:
◼ The species whose existence is wiped out of
the earth
KENYA ORBI DODO
BIRD

MAMMOTH

BARBARY LION GREAT AUK

CONSERVATION OF BIO
DIVERSITY:
◼ PROJECT TIGER:
◼ ANIMAL RESERVES TO MAINTAIN NATURAL
ECOSYSTEM
◼ INCREASE THE COUNT OF TIGER
◼ ENFORCING ANTI POACHING MEASURES
◼ PROJECT ELEPHANT:
◼ PROTECTED AREA FOR FREE MOVEMENT OF
HERDS
◼ ESTABLISHING BREEDING CENTRES
◼ REPOSITORIES TO CONSERVE THE
PRODUCERS
◼ MAINTAING THE GENETIC DIVERSITY OF
FLORA AND FAUNA
◼ AWARENESS OF FOOD CHAIN
