Biodiversity Conservation provides a comprehensive understanding of the principles, significance, and conservation of biological diversity in relation to ecological sustainability and environmental management. The book introduces the fundamentals of biodiversity, including genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity, while highlighting India’s rich biological heritage, agro-ecological zones, biogeographic regions, and biodiversity hotspots.

The text discusses the ecological, economic, cultural, and social values of biodiversity along with major threats such as habitat destruction, pollution, invasive species, climate change, and overexploitation. It systematically explains extinction processes, endangered and endemic species, and modern conservation approaches including in-situ and ex-situ conservation strategies.

Special emphasis is given to biodiversity laws and policies, traditional knowledge systems, sacred groves, international and national conservation organizations, sustainable development goals, ecological economics, and community participation in conservation efforts. Designed for students, researchers, environmentalists, and policymakers, this book serves as a valuable resource for understanding biodiversity conservation and sustainable environmental stewardship.
