Endangered Species :
Concept:
The endangered species are those living organisms which are almost on the verge of extinction. Thousands of species of plants and animals are endangered and the number increases each year.
Causes for species becoming endangered
CAUSES
Destruction of
habitat
Wildlife trade
Overhunting
Effects On Nature
Disruption of food chains and food webs.
Their absence hampers national wealth.
Affects national biodiversity.
Ecological Imbalance.
Case study for endangered species

Endemic Species
Concept :The concept of Endemism
was first given by (CANDOLLE). When a species is found
only in a particular geographical region because of its isolation, soil and climatic conditions, it is said to be endemic.
Causes for Endemism
CAUSES
Narrow ecological amplitude. Poor
adaptability.
Geographical barriers.
Changing climatic
conditions.

Conservation TechniquesThe steps for the conservation of the existing species are:Proper planning and management should be made to preserve wildlife in their habitat and in zoos and sanctuaries.
The feeding, breeding and nursing of the species should be safeguarded.
Establishment of sanctuaries and national parks with optimum living conditions is necessary.
Proper legislative and administrative measures should be taken to regulate international trade of the species.
OBJECTIVES OF OUR PROJECT
To create awareness as regards animal and plant wealth.
To arouse interest among masses about biodiversity conservation.
And lastly, playing our own role as a part of the environment.
