How can you, as an individual, prevent the loss of biodiversity?

Biodiversity can be saved by enforcing strict conservation strategies and policies regarding the management of the natural resources.

As an individual we need to understand the importance of the biodiversity and its role in ecological balance.

We should try to spread awareness in the society about the conservation and the management of resources.

Some of the conservation strategies are as follows:

a) Protected lands: it includes in situ conservation e.g. national parks, biosphere reserves and sanctuaries.

b) Hunting should be banned.

c) Over exploitation of natural resources need to be avoided.

d) Clearing of forest for urbanisation must be stopped today.
