Understand the threats to biodiversity and the modern and traditional methods used to conserve it.
Introduction to habitat loss and population decline.
What happens if a goat's grassland is destroyed, or a fish's pond dries up? When habitats are damaged by human activities, plants and animals lose their homes, food, and other vital resources.
This destruction directly leads to the loss of biodiversity. Without a safe place to live and thrive, species populations begin to drop rapidly.
Overview of government projects and the Save Silent Valley movement.
When biodiversity is threatened, people and governments step up to protect it. Meaningful change often starts with widespread awareness and dedicated movements.
This was a remarkable 10-year battle led by common people in the Palakkad district of Kerala. They successfully fought against a proposed hydroelectric dam on the Kunthipuzha river to save a beautiful moist evergreen forest.
