Role of Protected Area in Conserving Biodiversity
Biodiversity is necessary for sustainable development and human wellbeing. However the Conservation of natural resources has become a worldwide apprehension because of in critical pressures on biodiversity due to habitat loss and degradation, pollution, climate change, over exploitation, invasive alien species and unsustainable resource use. Over 15,000 delegates in lieu of the 193 Parties to the Convention on Biological diversity met in Nagoya, Japan to seek and resolution the problems in front of global biodiversity and decided that the human race has unsuccessful to meet up the 2010 goal to cut short the loss of biodiversity. According to experts presage that we except to create more to protect species, extinctions will peak and the intricately consistent normal world will be smashed with overwhelming consequences as vigorous ecosystems are the underpinnings of human being growth. One of the most significant factors disturbing biodiversity loss the environment damage has unrelenting unabated, and some Scientists now suggested that the earth faces its sixth mass disappearance phase the most recent given that dinosaurs gone astray 65 million years ago. Almost a part of mammals, one third of amphibians, more than one in eight birds, and more than a fifth of plant species now expression the danger of disappearance. The Earths 6.8 billion humans are effectively living 50 percent beyond the planets in capability in 2007, At the same time the mission of protected areas has extended from biodiversity conservation for improving human welfare. In India nearly 2,00,000 villages rely on forests and forest products for their livelihood. India has 661 Protected Areas covering 4.5%of countrys geographical area. India is recognizable as a mega-diverse nation owing to its rich biodiversity, which has evolved more than the millennia athwart its speckled bio-geographic zone. It is home to over 91,200 variety of mammals and 45,000 species of plants and has four recognized hotspots. India is home to about 7.6% of all mammalian species, 12.6% of avian species, 6.2% of reptilian species and 6.0% of flowering plant species. Due to escalating anthropogenic pressures, many species are under threat. The warming of the earth is mainly the effect of emissions of carbon dioxide and additional green house gases from industrial processes, fossil fuel combustion and changes in land use such as deforestation. With growing human population we will need more protected Areas and significant conservation of these protected Areas. Biodiversity the mixture of life on globe upon which all people depend and so concentration should be given on sustainable development should be our priority so as to safe guard our presence biodiversity.
