📖 About the Book

This book presents a timely exploration into the rapidly accelerating loss of biodiversity and its critical implications for ecosystems and human welfare. Biodiversity—the variety of life and its intricate ecological interdependencies—is not only vital for ecological balance but also for sustaining the essential services on which human survival depends.

With irreversible losses occurring due to forest degradation, agricultural expansion, and other anthropogenic pressures, this volume underscores the urgent need for assessment and conservation strategies across diverse ecosystems. The chapters provide in-depth insights into biodiversity within cropping systems and the unique challenges of cold and hot desert environments.

Drawing on the extensive field experience of the author, the book combines ecological insight with practical applications, making it a valuable resource for researchers, environmentalists, and policy makers.
