    Conservation of plants and animals is needed to preserve them for future generations and maintain the balance of the environment. Deforestation due to activities like agriculture, housing, and industries can lead to consequences like global warming, natural calamities, soil erosion, and desertification. Biodiversity, the variety of living organisms in an area, benefits the environment by maintaining the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide as well as preventing soil erosion and floods through natural processes.
