A majority of the insect species lives in freshwater environments, such as swamps, ponds, lakes, springs, streams and rivers these are called aquatic insects. There are about 8600 species of insects, falling under 12 orders, 150 families, known to inhabit diverse freshwater ecosystems. They play important ecological roles in keeping freshwater ecosystems functioning properly. There are many different kinds of aquatic insects as almost every type of freshwater environment habitat from puddles to river to lakes, including both lentic and lotic habitats, can belong to various species of aquatic insects. Aquatic insects are considered as model organisms in analyzing the structure and function of the freshwater ecosystem because of their high abundance, high birth rate with short generation time, large biomass and rapid colonization of freshwater habitat. The aquatic biodiversity gets affected by several factors such as industrial pollution or anthropogenic activities. Hence, this chapter is discussing about the diversity, habitats, roles, constraints and conservation of aquatic insects.","PeriodicalId":190312,"journal":{"name":"Biological Diversity: Current Status and Conservation Policies","volume":"10 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":"114227493","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}

Their significance, as well as any potential instrumental implications for phytodiversity conservation and modern medicine development, is well acknowledged. Various diseases are becoming more prevalent in many developing countries, and their financial costs are enormous. The majority of people in traditional communities rely on plant-based medications, and traditional health care workers are the primary source of health care. Ethnobotany has long been important in the development of innovative medications, and it is becoming increasingly important in the development of strategies and measures for residual forest conservation and recovery. This rich plant information had been passed down over the generations by tribal people in many sections of the land through word of mouth. Such research is essential to investigate local plants for emerging pharmaceutical enterprises and to strengthen the plant-people relationship in both cultural and ecological contexts to achieve intergenerational equity.

The terrestrial diversity of insect is large as compare to insect live in other habitat. Insects possess an amazing diversity in morphological characters as well as in genetic diversity that’s helps in survival in different environmental conditions. The great insect diversity is indeed an intrinsic part of the Earth’s ecosystem and they are what make the ecosystem. Thus, the diversity and ecological importance of insects make them very valuable for studies of biodiversity. Similarly, Insects have great potential for understanding ecosystem and to measure the ecosystem health but the limited knowledge and resources increase the difficulty of work on insect biodiversity The conservation of insect biodiversity is very important for the investigation of relation between climatic factors and insect diversity with respect to impact of human as well as increasing globalization. The limited research study on global insect diversity is harmful in advance study and research field with respect to advance evolutionary insect ecology.

In the soil for proper aeration, rich nutrient contents earthworms are very essential organisms. They enhance the nutrients contents, increase water holding capacity, and improve microbial activity in the soil. All over the world approximately 3627 species of earthworms are there. Earthworms are of two type’s micrdrilli and megadrilli, in microdrilli group about 280 species, and the rest all are under megadrilli. Megadrilli group earthworms are soil living earthworms, they are grouped under three subgroups epigeic, endogeic, and anecic. Earthworms work for formers daynight without any labor charge and make the soil more nutritious and more aerated that helps in crop production. The major problem nowadays is to be recycled the organic waste into humus like products. For crop production enhancement organic manure is a better option instead of chemical fertilizer. Earthworms decompose the organic waste into organic manure. By the use of vermi techniques (use of earthworms and organic waste) in the presence of oxygen organic waste turns into manure. The diversity and number of the earthworms in the soil change the soil texture and improve nutrient contents.","PeriodicalId":190312,"journal":{"name":"Biological Diversity: Current Status and Conservation Policies","volume":"18 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":"115571376","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}

Results of 21 years of rainfall analysis indicate that the region receives 650mm of rainfall, providing a productivity of 660kg/ha for groundnut and less than 300kg/ha for red gram, with measurable decreases in area. We derived four clusters and estimated that 35 percent of the area is at high to extremely high risk of soil erosion with poor soil quality (mean of 22.83%) and significant differences between the groups. Nearly 35K hectares are suitable for banana under drip irrigation and fifty-six thousand hectares are suitable for groundnut cultivation with limitations on rooting depth, topography, coarse fragments, alkalinity, and soil organic matter.

The sanctuary consists of a deep-water area, reed bed area, ponds, and shallow vegetated area that supports rich habitat for water and terrestrial birds. It is known for the occurrence of large congregations of winter migratory birds including some rare and endangered species. Present chapter is based on the published records and the observations carried by authors during 2018-19. Total 302 species have been reported so far. Four critically endangered species viz; White-rumped Vulture (Gyps bengalensis), Indian Vulture (Gyps indicus), Baer’s Pochard (Aythya baeri), and Sociable Lapwing (Vanellus gregarious) have been reported from this area. Apart from this, three endangered species, nine vulnerable species, and seventeen near threatened species occur in this area. Based on the field observations and earlier discussion with the officials of the sanctuary, it has been observed that during the past one and half decades the population and species density of avifauna is decreased and some of the species which were frequently seen, are becoming rare. The wetland is facing conservation problems owing to anthropogenic pressure and water pollution. Thus, in the catchment area and surroundings of water bodies, dumping of wastes (such as garbage, sewages, food wastes, and polyethylene bags) should be banned and stopped by law enforcement.","PeriodicalId":190312,"journal":{"name":"Biological Diversity: Current Status and Conservation Policies","volume":"17 5 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":"130989197","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}

They occur in all major taxonomic groups including viruses, fungi, higher plants, ferns, algae mosses, invertebrates, fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) invasive insect pest is one which becomes established in natural or semi-natural ecosystems or habitat, and threatens native biological diversity. These insect pests can multiply in large numbers and cause damage to economically important crop plants. These pests become invasive in introduced area due to the absence of natural enemies and favourable environment parameters. In India, the Directorate of Plant Protection Quarantine and Storage (DPPQ&S) is responsible for implementation of Destructive Insect and Pest Act (DIPA), 1914 through Plant Quarantine (Regulation of Import into India) Order, 2003 to prevent entry, establishment and spread of exotic plant pests into India to safeguard agriculture, horticulture and forest tree plants.
