Conservation of Biodiversity<br> 1) Importance<br> 2) Challenges<br> 3) Solution
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Conservation of biodiversity is protection, upliftment and scientific management of biodiversity so as to maintain it at its threshold level and derive sustainable benefits for the present and future generation. From: Biodiversity and Climate Change Adaptation in Tropical Islands, 2018.

Ecological life support— biodiversity provides functioning ecosystems that supply oxygen, clean air and water, pollination of plants, pest control, wastewater treatment and many ecosystem services. Recreation—many recreational pursuits rely on our unique biodiversity , such as birdwatching, hiking, camping and fishing.

Furthermore, high dependency and ever rising demands and scare forest resources outside protected areas due to unprecedented growth in human as well as livestock populations have created resource use conflicts. The protected areas continue to face growing demands of firewood, fodder and livestock grazing.

Identify locations of critical wildlife habitat for species at risk and the threats to these areas. Where possible, eliminate threats and maintain natural areas. Leave critical wildlife habitat undisturbed, especially nesting and denning sites. Promote wildlife use by setting up bird and bat houses.
