Environmental Conservation Methods

Conservation of Environment

• Using cleaner sources of energy like solar energy, wind energy, and hydropower to reduce pollution.
• Treating sewage and industrial waste water before discharging it into water bodies.

Ecosystems

• Ecosystems are of different sizes and consist of living organisms (biotic components) and non-living things (non-biotic components).
• Biotic components include plants, animals, and microorganisms.
• Non-biotic components include soil, air, sunlight, and temperature.

Food Chains

• Producers are organisms that produce their own food.
• Herbivores eat plants, carnivores eat other animals, and omnivores eat both plants and animals.
• Predators feed on other animals, while scavengers and decomposers feed on dead animals and plants.

Water Cycle

• Water is constantly moving from one place to another and changing its form through the water cycle.

Sustainable Practices

• Reducing the use of chemical fertilizers and using natural substances like manure instead.
• Reforestation involves growing trees in areas that once had forests.

Ecosystem Types

• Terrestrial ecosystems include forests, grasslands, and deserts.
• Aquatic ecosystems include ponds, lakes, and oceans.
