The conservation of insect diversity is therefore a topic of global importance. Threats to insect bio-diversity are rapidly increasing day by day. Six interrelated principles are emerging from recent research on the possible thanks to manage the landscape for insect and other bio-diversity conservation. A perfect management strategy is to keep up reserves and promote habitat heterogeneity while softening the disturbed matrix immediately surrounding the reserve. Outside reserves, put aside land for biodiversity and simulate natural conditions and disturbance. Link good-quality habitats with corridors, which has both short-term ecological value and long-term evolutionary value and may be a buffer within the face of worldwide global climate change. Permeating these six landscape principles may be a population-level approach, involving the meta-population trio, which are large habitat size, good patch quality, and reduced patch isolation. Overlying these coarse-filter, landscape principles is that the fine-filter, species approach, which recognizes the requirements of particular species under threat.","PeriodicalId":190312,"journal":{"name":"Biological Diversity: Current Status and Conservation Policies","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129499266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sanctuary is low profiled in terms of biodiversity conservation and scientific management, and still unexplored or under-explored in relation to the faunal diversity.

River Beas had been designated as “Conservation Reserve” in 2017 and “Ramsar site” in 2019. Agriculture affects 87% of the globally threatened bird species. Birds are the most noticeable and specialized species in the river habitats; hence the abundance and distribution of birds are often readily interpreted in the context of river health and vice versa. The chapter has been designed to understand the impact of agriculture, urbanization, tree diversity and wetlands along the river on avian diversity based on literature available for the state of Punjab. The chapter aims to generate sustainable management strategies for the conservation of avian diversity at Beas river conservation reserve without hampering the development of the region. The present work reveals that agriculture intensification and urbanization are major concern for avian diversity conservation as both these factors negatively impacts the habitat specialist bird species and favors generalist and insectivore species. The study concludes that significant number of species recorded have specific niche area requirements that are completed by the river’s sub-habitats including feeding, foraging, roosting and nesting therefore the whole area needs protection as a single unit.","PeriodicalId":190312,"journal":{"name":"Biological Diversity: Current Status and Conservation Policies","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117235955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study of biodiversity on both global and regional scales come mainly from the terrestrial environment despite the marked distinctive features of marine biodiversity and the fact that the aquatic (freshwater & marine) environment occupies more than two thirds of the Earth’s surface. The highest loss of freshwater biodiversity has been reported from the Indian subcontinent, specifically the Gangetic plains. Reason why the government has taken up the project of biodiversity conservation in the region. Each species is adapted to its unique niche in the environment, from the peaks of mountains to the depths of deep-sea hydrothermal vents, and from polar ice caps to tropical rain forests. Biodiversity is not only the richness of species; it is also their genetic variety and the multiple habitats and ecosystems in which these plants and animals live. Ecosystems contain both the living plants and animals and the nonliving elements (water, sunlight, soils) on which they depend.","PeriodicalId":190312,"journal":{"name":"Biological Diversity: Current Status and Conservation Policies","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126295403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Weed density and behaviour pattern in our eco-system directly influence crop cultivation aspect. Weed biodiversity play a significant function in maintaining the processes and functions of ecosystems, including farming. Changes in climatic factors would alter the nature of vegetation and agriculture and it is true especially with the increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration. While the variability in plant responses is large, C3 weeds generally increased their biological yield and LAI, under higher CO2 concentrations compared with C4 weeds. However, the feasibility of crop pattern should be assessed not only in terms of crop yield but also adequate levels of biodiversity within cropland. Agricultural practices, which vary according to local climate, cause a disturbance to the agro-ecosystem, and change the dynamics of the weed community, creating ecological niches. Weed biodiversity plays a key role in supporting food webs and ecosystem services in agro-ecosystems. Weed miscellany provide ecosystem services for the upper trophic levels in crop land ecosystems.
