Study of Ecosystem of Uttarakhand and Karnataka

Our country has a rich bio diversity (variety of plants and animals). Our Ecosystem is complex
andinterconnected, comprising of biotic and abiotic elements. Biotic elements include all living
organisms such as plants, animals and microorganisms. Abiotic components, on the other hand,
include non-living entities that are vital for the survival of life and these include soil, water,
climate etc. Among all biotic elements, Flora and Fauna are the most fascinating ones.
Flora and Fauna are a part of the ecosystem, and they are interdependent on each other for
their survival. They help maintain Ecological Balance.
Flora refers to the plant life found in a particular region. It is naturally occurring or the
indigenous natural vegetation in that region.The term fauna represents all the animal species
found in a particular geographical region at a particular time. These are the naturally occurring
animal species of the particular area.Flora refers to all plant life and fauna refers to all animal
life.  Fauna cannot prepare their own food so they depend upon the flora for their food.

PROJECT

Uttarakhand is endowed with a unique and diverse range of biodiversity. Biosphere reserves,
national parks, zoos, and sanctuaries are few instances of the measures taken by the
governments of Uttarakhand and Karnataka for conservation of flora and fauna.
Make a comparative study of Flora and Fauna of Uttarakhand and Karnataka on A 4 size sheet.
Consider the following points while writing a report:-
a) Climatic conditions of each region
b) Flora and Fauna found in these places
c) Geographical region of the states that help to grow vegetation
d) Sanctuaries and Forest reserves in these places.
Kindly paste pictures wherever necessary to enhance the report. Project to be completed and
uploaded by 13th December.
