Question
Why are certain forests considered "biodiversity hot spots"? Suggest any two ways in which an individual can contribute effectively to the management of forests and wild life.
✓

Answer

Forests are considered “biodiversity hot spots” because they have very high level of species richness and a high degree of endemism.
A person can effectively contribute towards the management of forests and wildlife by:
  1. Using fewer products which are derived directly from forests and wildlife such as wood, animal skin etc.
  2. Avoid discriminate cutting down of forest for the industrial purpose.
