Title: Need to take measures to check extinction of birds, animals and plants species in the country.
SHRI N.S.V. CHITTHAN (DINDIGUL): Plants and animals play important role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium. Some of the impacts of extinction of species are breaking of the continuity of the food chain, loss of important biological resources, reduction in species and genetic diversity and reduced resilience of the ecosystems.
The international Union for conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) has reported that a total of 560 species of animals and plants are threatened in India.
There is urgent need to have a study on the impact of this phenomena on Environment and Forests.
I request the Union Government to take remedial measures so as to address this problem and check extinction of birds, animals and plants species in the country.
