You would have been to many national parks where native animals and plants are nurtured. However, many of you may also have raised questions about the very existence of these parks. Actually, there are more than one reasons for national governments to have such parks for containing biodiversity. Let us tell you about a few of these major factors driving the development of national parks.
When we talk about biodiversity, we are talking about the total diversity of nature and life forms. Due to a variety of human activities and the resulting global climatic changes, this balance of biodiversity is getting disturbed. Thus, it is time for us to take care of biodiversity. There are various reasons why we should do this.
One prime feature of nature is that it connects us all together. No single species can survive alone. We all, directly and indirectly, depend on each other for survival and well being. Our environment needs the participation of millions of different species to function steadily. Biodiversity gives our world the unique variety that is not found in any other planet of the solar system. Every species of flora and fauna has a particular duty to serve. With its extinction that duty will remain unfulfilled and create a hole in nature’s web. Such gaping holes can cause severe imbalance in our ecosystem.
