Visit local forest office and collect the data of local flora and fauna.
Answer:
Kolleru lake is declared as a wildlife sanctuary under India’s Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. We visited Forest Ranger Office, which is very near to our school and collected local flora and fauna of Kolleru wildlife sanctuary. Kolleru Bird Sanctuary is one of the best fresh water lake sanctuaries in the Indian sub-continent. It is a paradise for many migratory birds from Egypt, Siberia, Australia and Philippines, that flock down in huge numbers during Indian winter season.

Birds like red-chested pod chards, storks, pintails, Ibises, teals, etc are found in great numbers at this lovely bird sanctuary. This beautiful lake sanctuary is also called as Colair Lake by Local people.

Flora and Fauna in Kolleru Bird Sanctuary:
The flora mainly consists of aquatic weeds like Ipomea aquatics, Scripus, Water Hyacinth, Pharagmites, Ottelia, Typha etc. and certain tree species like Babul, Albezzia, Rain tree, Palmyrah, Prosopis and coconut trees. The lake supports a rich biodiversity and high biomass of fish, plankton that forms the source of food for birds. Pelicans arrive here during the nesting season to raise their young.

Invertebrates like Crustaceans and Molluscs and 63 species of fish belonging to 29 families are found in the lake. Main ones are Boccha, Valugah, Korramenu, Gurak, Bangaru Teega, Jella, Ingilayh and Bommidaya. The lake is surrounded by number of birds, which include Open Bill Storks, Painted Storks, Glossy Ibises, White bises, Teals, Pmtails, Shovellers, Red-Crested Pochards, Blackwinged Stilts, Avocets, Common Redshanks, Wigeons, Gadwalls and Cormorants, among others.

Question 13.
Where do you find most of the biodiversity on the earth? Draw T.S map showing maximum biodiversity areas.
Answer:
We find most of the diversity in forest resources. The following picture shows rich bio diversity of Telangana, where the areas are covered with maximum forests. Also we find rich bio diversity in birds and animal sanctuaries.

Question 14.
What do you understand by biodiversity? How can you say variations are present in them?
Answer:
Def: The variety and variability seen in plants and animals is called Bio-diversity.

Variations in plants and animals :
The variety of organisms exist in an area and they show different variations. Though some organisms look similar, but on careful observation we find differences among them that leads to biodiversity. There is no monotamy in structure and functions of nature even at micro level.
Eg : We can easily determine biodiversity among grass plants in the grass lands. We observe difference in size of the leaves, thickness of stem, growth of number of branches etc.

Question 15.
Most of our biodiversity is being lost due to human activities. Suggest a few ways to protect them.
Answer:

• Reforestation
• Prevention of all kinds of pollution.
• Conservation of endangered species through National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries.

Question 16.
When you see a park, sanctuary or a zoo with many kinds of plants and animals, how would you express your happiness? Write a few lines on them.
Answer:

• Visiting a zoo gives us a unique opportunity to see the nature of different animals and plant species.
• We wonder at variety of animals and how they perform unique life activities.
• For example feeding habits of different birds. It is an amazing scene of the way they collect food from different sources and feed their young ones.
• Competition among carnivores like wolf and tiger reveal us how animals try to compete with other species for obtaining food.
• Variety of coloured birds make us enjoy at their movements and sounds.
• We admire at the habits of unknown animals and birds which are taken from other countries.
• The aroma of beautiful flowers give us the fragrance in the zoo.
• We feel amazed how the birds and animals recognise their babies, feed only their babies and take care of them.
• We rich bio diversity of the zoo makes us realising about protecting the nature with ease and enthusiasm.

Question 17.
Prepare an essay to give a talk on biodiversity and conservation.
Answer:
Biodiversity refers to the sum of all the different species of animals, plants, fungi, and microbial organisms living on Earth and the variety of habitats in which they live. It allowed ecosystems to function properly. It is essential to the well being of humans and plants. However the biodiversity is in serious danger, it is shrinking at an alarming rate. The cause of biodiversity loss is largely due to the explosion in human population.

The shrinking of the biodiversity would have a huge impact on lives of human. Biodiversity provides the necessity that makes life possible. It provides fresh water, clean air and nutrients. Without all of these things, it is impossible for humans to survive.

The human destruction of the natural habitats, the raising temperature and introduced species has jeopardized our biodiversity. The human destruction of natural habitats is one of the greatest threats to biodiversity. Human has physically transformed the earth’s face. Humans destroyed wetlands, forests and jungles and replaced it with railways and factories. This has caused large amounts of animals to lose their homes and became extinct.

The greenhouse effect has affected our biodiversity tremendously. The greenhouse effect has caused the temperature to rise unnaturally and dramatically. Scientists blame it for an increase in the Earth’s surface temperature of about 0.6 Celsius degrees (about 1 Fahrenheit degree) over the last nearly 100 years. Scientists have warned that extinction is to be expected if the temperature keeps rising in current rate.

We can protect biodiversity in the following methods: Conservation and preservation. Conservation is to set resources aside from use. National park is one form of conservation. Preservation means to set resources aside so that we can use later. Other strategies include reducing impact of feral animals and plants by controlling them; set species breeding program; introduce laws and rules to reduce pollution.

Question 18.
Rani said conservation of biodiversity starts from our home. Is she correct ? How do you support her ? What will be your action for this?
Answer:
Yes, she is correct. We can conserve the biodiversity from our homes by reducing the use of electricity, paper, and by planting trees in the unoccupied areas in our surroundings.

Question 19.
When we take steps towards conserving the tiger, what are the other things that have to be conserved ?
Answer:
When we take steps towards saving the tiger, it’s not just saving the tiger but conservation of the other flora and fauna related to the tiger is also very important. For example, if a tiger has to be saved, its Food Web should be protected. The tiger depends for food on the deer and many of other herbivores. If the tiger disappears, the deer and other herbivore population will increase and that would affect the flora of the area. All organisms in nature influence one another in some way or the other so we need to protect all of them.

Question 20.
Prepare some slogans or a pamphlet to make aware of people about conservation of biodiversity.
Answer:
Slogans on conservation of biodiversity:

• Truth be told, Biodiversity is worth more than gold.
• Biodiversity we must keep, so in the future we don’t weep.
• Don’t let species go extinct, in this world we are all linked.
• We are all part of the circle of life, let’s live in peace and not in strife.

Question 21.
How man-made activities are damaging biodiversity ? What are the steps to be taken to make the people recognising the importance of bio-diversity ?
Answer:
The following man made activities are causing damage to bio-diversity

• Deforestation
• Industrialisation
• Polluting water and soil
• Convertion of cultivated land as residential area
• Destruction of forests for mines
• Poaching and hunting of animals
• Indiscriminate activities causing river, seas, lakes polution.
• Oil slicks.

Measurements for making people to recognise the importance of bio diversity :

• Educate the people to save and conserve every living thing irrespective of its use.
• Use the natural resources rationally.
• Educate people to think about alterntive resources to stop destroying the nature.
• Educate the importance of “Live and let live”.

TS 8th Class Biology 6th Lesson Biodiversity and its Conservation Activities

Activity: 1

Question 1.
What are the things that attract you very much in nature?
Answer:
Tall trees with huge branches.

Question 2.
While observing things a lot of thoughts may come in your mind about nature. Write your feelings without any hesitation.
Answer:
A tropical jungle is an awesome place. I had the opportunity of visiting one recently. My father, who works as a forest ranger, took me along on one of his trips into the jungle. I had wanted to experience for myself first-handed what he had always spoken about.

The moment we entered the jungle, a sort of semi-darkness enveloped us. The sky was almost completely shut out by the canopy of leaves high above us. At ground level, thick vegetation grew in ever’ direction. The air was damp and had a peculiar smell to it.

All around us were the sounds of insects, birds and animals. Though we could not see them, except for some birds, we knew they were there. The sounds echoed all over, making the jungle feel eerie and strange.

For the first time in my life I saw strange birds, insects, huge spiders, snakes, trees, flowers, vines as thick as a man’s hand and various animals. The experience was unforgettable. I was awestruck by the might of nature. When we emerged from the jungle J felt as though a great weight had been Lifted from me. The clear blue sky was a welcome sight. Outside, the world was definitely easier to cope with. The jungle made me feel hemmed in and helpless. It was a good experience but I would prefer to remain outside it.

Question 3.
