Environment conservation is a crucial global challenge in the 21st century.
Across the world, efforts are being made to preserve the balance in the
environment.
The early morning and evening chorus of an abundance of different birds is
something many of us take for granted in India. So far, the country's
wildlife is preserved in 120+ national parks, 515 wildlife sanctuaries, 26
wetlands, and 18 Bio-Reserves, out of which 10 are part of the World
Network of Biosphere Reserves. Nature unencumbered does a great job of
keeping our planet healthy, but as we pollute our waterways, cut down and
isolate habitat and pump carbon into our air, we prevent nature from doing
its work. Asia is an extremely diverse continent when it comes to
biodiversity. Environmental conservation enables nature to get on with the
job of keeping us and the planet healthy. The Session, with the erudite
experts and researchers, would explore the ways and means of preserving the
ecosystems of the environment.
