Restoration of the Ecosystem through Drives for Biodiversity

Objectives of the practic
  • 1.To sensitize students to the beauty and bounty of nature.
  • 2.To awaken ecological concerns amongst students.
  • 3.To sensitize students to Eco-system in the nature.
  • 4.To protect the flora and fauna of nature.
  • 5. To preserve the ecological balance of nature.
  • To prevent conservation of the natural resources
    • The Context:

    The well-being of mankind depends upon a sound ecosystem. There has been a lot of deterioration of the planet earth due to the massive loss of biodiversity. It has created an ecological imbalance. Global warming and sudden climate change are recurrent issues in the cycle of nature. Due to industrialization and population explosion, natural resources are getting exhausted. Man has used them greedily without a second thought for the next generation. Deforestation and urbanization have destroyed the natural habitat of the birds. The habitat of wildlife is also in danger. We could not preserve the natural landscape and seem to be altogether failed in preventing soil erosion. Plastic waste has clogged the earth. E-waste and chemical waste have affected the fertility of the land. On this background, the preservation of biodiversity is our utmost concern. Because our shelter and other needs like food, fuel, medicine and clean air depend on biodiversity

    The Practice:

    To restore the ecosystem of nature the Department of Botany has established a ‘Nature Club’. Through the Nature Club, the department conducts various activities that make students aware of the ecology around us. The faculty in the Department continuously encourages the students to preserve nature. To make the students aware of the flora and fauna of nature the department has undertaken the activity of the Geo-mapping of the trees on the college campus. The intention is obviously to connect the students with nature and to make them familiar with the trees and plants around them. It seems that today’s generation is detached from nature as there are many things that keep them engaged. The Geo-mapping of the trees is nothing but communion with nature to increase intimacy with nature.

    The next activity is a tree –plantation drive and every year the students of the department plant different trees and saplings. Apart from that the department also arranges poster- presentation competition with the theme of Enlightenment on Different Aspects of Nature. The department has also organized various webinars to make students aware of the different issues related to the restoration of Biodiversity. The first webinar was a One Day State Level webinar on Biodiversity and its Applications. The aim of the webinar was to increase public awareness about Biodiversity through media, government agencies and NGOs. The deliberations in the webinar focused that the damage to biodiversity is always on a massive scale and the whole society has to bear the consequences of it. For a pollution-free environment, the department has organized a second One Day State level webinar on Clean Energy Resources. The thrust area of the webinar was ‘Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. It has also covered the topics like energy conservation and solid waste management.

    The third Webinar that the department organized was a One Day National Webinar on Ecosystem Restoration which offered students Glimpses of Biodiversity in India and insights into Ecosystem Damage and its Restoration. The fourth initiative of the department was a One Day Webinar on Wild Life Protection Act. The webinar was arranged in collaboration with the Department of Forest, Nasik. The deliberations in the webinar informed students about endangered wild species and the legal provisions to save wildlife. The department also celebrated Science Day with the theme of Plastic Ban, Sound, Air and Water Pollution. Thus, the department has undertaken many activities to restore biodiversity.

    Evidence of Success

    The students with the support of the faculty have established Nature’s Club and have become eco-friendly. There is Geo-mapping of all the trees on the college campus. The students are familiar with the trees and the plants around them as they have searched for the scientific names of those trees. They are now nature friendly. They know the concept of biodiversity and its significance in ecological balance. They have realized the interconnectivity and dependability of all species on the earth. They are familiar with the beautiful instances of biodiversity in India. They are aware of the rare plants as well as the endangered species of wildlife. They are also sensitized to the laws for wildlife. They are sensitized to natural resources that are getting exhausted. Now they follow three Rs of waste management. i.e Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. They explore alternate energy resources and follow the correct methods of waste management. They are keen on different types of pollution like plastic waste, air, sound and water pollution. They enthusiastically participate in poster presentation competitions and come out with innovative posters on biodiversity, pollution, rare trees, different parts of the tree, different types of leaves etc.

    Problems Encountered and Resources Required:

    It seems that the young generation is too occupied with technology and different gadgets. It is challenging to detach them from technology and connect with nature. It has been observed that they like to read about nature on the internet but hardly find time to go back to nature and refresh themselves through nature. It is also observed that the other priorities like assignments, submissions, research and job opportunities have a strong hold on their mind and obviously nature becomes a secondary priority. Most of the students also consider nature preservation is a leisure time activity or something related to hobby or temperament. It is difficult to convince students that preservation of nature is our priority and responsibility of every human being.

    Notes:
  • The Nature Club has a constituted committee and periodical meeting of the committee are conducted.
