Biodiversity is crucial for human survival, providing resources like food and clean air, yet a significant decline is evident, with a reported 90% loss in certain biodiversity hotspots, largely due to habitat destruction and industrialization. India’s rich biodiversity, with over 45,000 plant and 91,000 animal species, reflects its varied climates and ecosystems. Human intervention and natural disasters aggravate this decline, leading to man-animal conflicts and increased extinction rates. The rapid pace of change threatens ecological balance, risking the survival of numerous species and the overall health of the planet. Sustainable development strategies are urgently needed to address this crisis.
