Loss of Biodiversity
a. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red Data Book,
some 47 species of plants and animals in India are listed as critically endangered. Loss of
ecology and natural habitats have left many indigenous species, including important ones
such as the Siberian crane, Himalayan wolf and Kashmir stag in grave danger of going
extinct. Rapid urbanization, poaching and indiscriminate hunting for leather, fur etc. have
rendered these animals critically endangered and the flora or herbal treasure of India is
near-extinction conditions. Many of the plants commonly harvested for their medicinal
properties are vanishing along with the legacy of Ayurvedic treatment.
b. There are two main reasons for India’s environmental challenges. Firstly, the
exploding population and the needs of billions makes environmental sustainability a very
difficult issue. The other big challenge is lack of environmental awareness and
conservation. Despite the efforts of the government and environmental agencies, there is a
lack of substantial efforts from the masses. Unless this changes, there is little hope for
improvement. We can only look forward to the youth and the younger generations of the
nation to remain conscientious and act in the best interests of future generations.

Rain Water Harvesting

Rain water harvesting is a technique of collection and storage of rainwater into natural
reservoirs or tanks, or the infiltration of surface water into subsurface aquifers (before it is lost as
surface runoff). It’s uses include water for gardens, livestock, irrigation, domestic use with
proper treatment, indoor heating for houses, etc. The harvested water can also be used as
drinking water, longer-term storage and for other purposes such as groundwater recharge.

The collection of rainwater can be done in various methods depending on a few factors.
A few common methods of rainwater harvesting are rain barrels, dry system, wet system, green
roof etc. One method of rainwater harvesting is roof top harvesting for reuse on-site, rather than
allowing it to run off. These are few of the standard rainwater harvesting methods which are
mainly done in many households.

Harvesting and collection of rain water can be used to solve the problem of the water shortage

Smog is a yellowish or blackish fog formed mainly by a mixture of pollutants in the

atmosphere which consists of fine particles and ground level ozone. Smog also refers to
hazy air that makes breathing difficult. It is purely caused by air pollution. Smog is harmful
to humans, animals, plants and nature as a whole. It can decrease your lungs' working
capacity, leading to shortness of breath, chest pain, wheezing, coughing, discomfort in
deep-breathing, asthma attacks if you are already a patient. Smog can be responsible for
any ailment from minor pains to deadly pulmonary diseases such as lung cancer. The best
way to protect from smog is to stay indoors, but for most people, that is a near-to-
impossible option. Use a face mask with pollutant filter, avoid exercising outdoors, and
drive slow and carefully. Smog can be reduced by implementing modifications in your
lifestyle, decreasing the consumption of fuels that are non-renewable and by replacing
them with alternate sources of fuel which will reduce toxic emissions from vehicles.
