Conservation of Plants and Animals Class 8 Notes

Conservation Of Plants And Animals Class 8 Notes – Chapter 7

The government imposes methods, rules and policies to protect and conserve forest and wildlife. National parks, wildlife sanctuaries, biosphere reserves etc., are protected areas for the conservation of animals and plants present in an area.

• Biosphere – Areas meant for the conservation of biodiversity. They help to maintain the culture and biodiversity of the area. A biosphere can have other protected areas in it like wildlife sanctuaries and national parks.
• Wildlife Sanctuary – Reserve forests that provide protection and suitable living conditions to wild animals.
• National Park – Reserves that are large and diverse enough to protect a whole set of the ecosystem. They preserve landscape, flora and fauna, and historic objects of an area.

We should save, recycle and reuse to save trees, water and energy. One should resort to reforestation which is the restocking of destroyed forests by planting new trees. Please refer Conservation of Plants and Animals Class 8 Notes for more revision notes.
