Protect soldiers -who contribute without expecting returns
The varieties of life on earth are its soldiers. These soldiers are contributing from millions of years to protect the earth. This variety of life on earth
The varieties of life on earth are its soldiers. These soldiers are contributing from millions of years to protect the earth. This variety of life on earth and its interdependence is termed as biodiversity. Human life on earth has been possible only because of this biodiversity. It saves earth from various hazards and maintains an atmosphere suitable for survival of life on earth. If this biodiversity is endangered and if we don’t give a thought about the disturbances we are creating from the past five decades-the question of Human survival will arise in no time. This year it is 43rd earth day celebration on 22nd April, and this calls for realization and for action to protect biodiversity, not only on this day, but year through.
Biodiversity creates ecosystem and it is the backbone of life on earth. Every species contributes its part for a healthy ecosystem. It has been computed that one pair of house rats would increase at the end of the year to 880. Rats destroy crops causing heavy losses in cultivation, birds feed on rats and thus every pair of rat killed by birds means the annual suppression of a potential increase of 880 rats. For the same act man has to spend at least Rs 50/- to kill a single rat. Trees are the habitat for thousands of birds .Trees play a major role in controlling air pollution, it is estimated that one tree removes about 74 kgs of pollution in an year.Guana of 1000 Canadian geese 58 days in straight is sufficient to cultivate 2.5 acres wheat, This straight away reduces the cost of fertilizers for cultivation. About 80% of developing nations use plants as a primary source of medicine, 57% of the most prescribed drugs have their origin in biodiversity. Apart from these the nature in form of wet lands, fisheries, forestry, mines etc. are yielding crores of rupees annually along with balancing the eco system and protecting the earth from natural calamities.
