Why should we conserve forests and wildlife ?<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>Answer &#8211; <\/strong>We should conserve forests and wildlife to preserve the biodiversity (range of different life-forms) so as to avoid the loss of ecological stability. A large number of tribes are the habitants in and around the forests. If the forests are not conserved, then it may affect these habitants. Without proper management of forest and wildlife, the quality of soil, the water sources, and even the amount of rainfall may be affected. Without forest and wildlife, life would become impossible for human beings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>2. Suggest some approaches towards the conservation of forests.<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Answer &#8211; <\/strong>Some approaches towards the conservation of forests are\u00a0as follows:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">(a) People should show their participation in saving the forest by protesting against the cutting of trees. For example,\u00a0<i>Chipko Andolan<br \/>\n<\/i>(b) Planting of trees should be increased. Rate of afforestation must be more than that of deforestation.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">(c) Some people cut\u00a0precious trees such as\u00a0<i>Chandan\u00a0<\/i>to earn money. Government should take legal steps to catch these wood smugglers.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">(d) Habitants of forests must not be bothered by the forest officials. Otherwise, this would result in the clash between tribal people and the government officials, thereby enhancing the naxal activities in forests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Questions<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"wrap\" class=\"clr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong style=\"color: #000000; text-align: justify;\">1.

They get filled up during rain. Larger reservoirs are perennial. The smaller ones dry up after a few months.

These are low, straight, and concrete. In hilly regions, the system of canal irrigation called Kulhs is used for water harvesting. This involves a collection of rainwater in a stream, which is then diverted into man made channels down the hillsides.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">3. <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Find out the source of water in your region!locality.
