    What is biodiversity?
    Biological diversity
    variety of life found on Earth
    and all of the natural processes.
    This includes ecosystem,
    genetic and cultural diversity,
    and the connections between
    these and all species.

    From the smallest ant to the tallest tree


    Each and Every Creature is part of the
    biodiversity family
    Lets Protect our family
    Ecosystem?
    Community of living organisms (plants, animals and microbes)
    in conjunction with the non living components of their
    environment (things like air, water and soil), interacting as a
    system
    Ecosystem as a woven carpet-
    if you pull on a loose thread
    it might only affect the
    thread and those closest to it
    or it might unravel the whole
    carpet.

    Fauna is all of the animal life of any


    particular ecosystem. The corresponding
    term for plants is flora.
    Flora, fauna and other forms of life such
    as fungi are collectively referred as biota.
    Benefits of conserving biodiversity
    Resilience of the ecosystem in the face of climate change
    Agriculture is totally dependent on ecosystem processes
    and functions provided by biodiversity
    Prevention of salinity and soil acidification, weed invasion
    and pest control
    Products such as timber, honey and medicine
    A link to the past preservation of the natural world
    Prevention of habitat for native species, support for living
    things including humans
    Maintenance of natural processes filtering of pollution.
    Protection from soil water loss and erosion
    Tourism
    Safety Engineering

    Road Accident Statistics in India

    In 2013, over 1, 37,000 people were killed in road


    accidents, which is more than the number of people
    killed in all our wars put together.
    16 children die on Indian roads daily.
    One serious road accident in the country occurs every
    minute and 16 die on Indian roads every hour.
    1214 road crashes occur every day in India.
    20 children under the age of 14 die every day due to
    road crashes.
    377 people die every day, equivalent to a jumbo jet
    crashing every day.
