Practice Questions

Explain the importance of forests and wildlife in our life.

Forests and wildlife play crucial roles in our lives in numerous ways:
● Forests and wildlife are vital for maintaining biodiversity. They provide habitats for a wide variety of plants,
animals, and microorganisms, thereby preserving genetic diversity essential for ecosystem resilience.
● Forests act as carbon sinks, absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and helping mitigate climate
change. They also influence local and regional climates by regulating temperatures, precipitation patterns,
and humidity levels.
● Forests and wildlife contribute to economies through industries like timber, pharmaceuticals, ecotourism,
and agriculture. They provide livelihoods for millions of people worldwide, particularly in rural areas.
● Forests and wildlife serve as living laboratories for scientific research and education. Studying these
ecosystems helps us understand ecological processes, species interactions, and the impacts of human
activities.
