Eco-Environment and Global Biodiversity

Eco-Environment plays an important role in combating desertification, preventing erosion problems, other protective erosion problems, climatic change and acting as carbon reservoirs and sinks. The vital role of Eco-Environment in protecting fragile ecosystems, watersheds reservoirs and as storehouses of rich biodiversity should be recognized and contain not only woody species and wild animals but also a wealth of other species of actual or potentially socio-economic importance at the global, national and local levels, including wild relatives of important crop species. Basically this volume of Eco environment deals in the issues and causes of pollution of environment and its impact on nature and humans and the measures that are taken on a global basis to prevent Eco-Environment. This Book is a sincere effort of the authors to provide compiled information n the subjects. God has gifted many things to us and we only have to preserve these precious gifts, as these are major and most vital things for all living being on the earth for their survival. So the well-being and survival of human beings depend on millions of species and varieties of crops, livestock and wildlife. Biodiversity, which refers to the variety and variability among living organisms in our environment and the ecosystem complexes in which they occur is facing ecological catastrophes and within the next few decades it is likely to extinct according to the report"People and Environment", released by the US based WRI. Rapid loss of Biodiversity is caused by the destruction of habitats of wild animals by man, hunting, overexploitation, using pesticides, pollution of water, air, noise etc. Several techniques, legal aspects and action plans have been implemented for the conservation of biodiversity. Biotechnology has also added many scientific and engineering principles for conservation of biodiversity and its impact has also been discussed. Biodiversity maintains ecological balance and evolutionary processes and it has become an important topic for its conservation and management. This book is a sincere effort of the authors not only for spreading awareness but also for providing information about the variety of living things existing in the environment and it suggests ways for its conservation and development.
