Class 10th - Geography - Forest and Wildlife Resources. 

Scene 2

Class 10th - Geography - Forest and Wildlife Resources

We humans along with all living organisms form  a complex web of ecological system in which we  are only a part and very much dependent on this  system for our own existence.

Scene 3

Biodiversity or Biological Diversity is immensely rich  in wildlife and cultivated species, diverse in form  and function but closely integrated in a system  through multiple network of interdependencies.

Scene 4

undefined. Class 10th - Geography - Forest and Wildlife Resources. 

Scene 5

India is one of the world’s richest countries in terms of its vast array of  biological diversity. They are under great stress, mainly due to insensitivity to our environment. Some estimates suggest that at least 10 percent of India’s recorded wild Flora and 20 percent of its mammals are on the threatened list. The cheetah, pink-headed duck, mountain quail, forest spotted owlet, and  plants like madhuca insignis (a wild variety of mahua) and hubbardia  heptaneuron, (a species of grass).

 Reality

We only talk of the larger and more visible extinct species.

Scene 6

Vanishing forests
 The dimensions of deforestation in India are staggering. The forest and tree cover in the country is estimated at 807276 sq km which  is 24.56 per cent of the total geographical area ❏	Dense forest 12.4 percent; ❏	Open forest 9.26 percent; ❏	And mangrove 0.15 per cent. According to the State of Forest Report (2019), the dense forest cover has  increased by 3,976 sq km since 2017. However, this apparent increase in the forest cover is due to conservation  measures, management interventions and plantation, etc., by different  agencies.

Scene 7

Based on the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural  Resources (IUCN), we can classify as follows

Scene 8

Normal Species Species whose population levels are considered to  be normal for their survival. Such as cattle, sal, pine, rodents, etc.

Scene 9

Endangered Species
 These are species which are in danger of extinction. The survival of such species is difficult if the  negative factors that have led to a decline in their  population continue to operate. The examples of such species are black buck,  crocodile, Indian wild ass, Indian rhino, lion tailed  macaque, sangai (brow anter deer in Manipur), etc.

Scene 10

Vulnerable Species These are species whose population has declined to  levels from where it is likely to move into the  endangered category in the near future if the  negative factors continue to operate. The examples of such species are blue sheep, Asiatic  elephant, Gangetic dolphin, etc.

Scene 11

Rare Species Species with small population may move into the  endangered or vulnerable category if the negative  factors affecting them continue to operate. The examples of such species are the Himalayan  brown bear, wild Asiatic buffalo, desert fox and  hornbill, etc.

Scene 12

Endemic Species These are species which are only found in some  particular areas usually isolated by natural or  geographical barriers. Examples of such species are the Andaman teal,  Nicobar pigeon, Andaman wild pig, mithun in  Arunachal Pradesh.

Scene 13

Extinct Species These are species which are not found after searches  of known or likely areas where they may occur. A species may be extinct from a local area, region,  country, continent or the entire earth. Examples of such species are the Asiatic cheetah,  pink head duck.
