No animal on earth can live alone. All have to depend on each other for survival. Birds and insects are needed for the reproduction of flowers, fruits and grains. Crows, vultures and foxes all eat the flesh of dead animals to protect the environment from pollution. Even if a banyan tree is cut down, many animals lose their shelter. If we cut down fruit trees or banyan trees and plant only shawls, teak, mahogany trees, then the birds will lose their shelter and who will go elsewhere or become extinct.
Protecting biodiversity is essential to keeping the earth habitable. People need to be made aware of this. The existing rules and regulations for the conservation of animals need to be further enhanced and the law needs to be properly enforced.
