Biodiversity conservation involves two primary approaches: in-situ conservation (protecting species in their natural habitats through national parks and sanctuaries) and ex-situ conservation (protecting species outside their natural habitats through zoos, botanical parks, and captive breeding programs). These methods work together to preserve species diversity, maintain ecological balance, and ensure the survival of endangered species like olive ridley turtles and great Indian bustards.

But [clears throat] today the grassroots level governance is highly required Mhm.
to fulfill all the aspirations of the local community.
The very fact the law was there in 1996 or so. Really? So, that is the idea behind the law legislation. Yes, sir.
Uh and then then suddenly there was a stagnation. There's Unless you make rules, it cannot be carried carried out.
Is it because the government did not mainstream because tribals are not sufficiently represented, tribals are not vocal?
Or is it because now the honorable Chief Minister of mhm Odisha is himself a tribal? You think it is a it's a kind of a That might be a That might be a thing.
But at at any rate, it could be a reflection how indifferent we have been to the tribals. Maybe isn't it? Sir, in different I think all the Chief Minister they have contributed in their own way, but due to the tribal link of our current Chief Minister, he has now given more importance to uh uh You would have made a wonderful Indian foreign service officer.
Madhusudan, I'm complimenting you. You would have made a wonderful diplomat.

The other day I was there. The general public do not know exactly the what Two girls were going then he also came and they took the car and then he just he misbehaved or whatever he did not we do not know. The girls shouted. People ask the public.
Other than that binding money they can do.
>> I think mob lynching is a like things should not happen because it affects the personal and individual rights of a person.
But the security forces should also improve the digital vigilance or surveillance and also the law and order things should be maintained.
But such things are unfortunate to happen. Unfortunate to happen.
Very good. So that came in this area.
Student of zoology and much interested to read zoology also for which you went to BHU.
What is the credential of BHU as far as the zoological research is concerned?
What was very impressive for you when you joined there to see?
I saw a very well established laboratories in all departments.
Especially I joined the endocrinology lab.
So there we have a good houses of animal houses and animal breeding facilities also there. The professors are very kind and they were very supportive in conducting the research works.
Let's can you tell us something about what are the biodiversity conservation measures taken by government of India.
Government of Odisha and India as well.
Government of How to conserve this biodiversity?
Odisha and government of India they also have taken lot of efforts like in Odisha olive ridley turtle is there.
So continuous surveillance and breeding programs are also being conducted.
And other wildlife like cheetah program is there in India where the cheetahs are relocated from Namibia it does in Namibia forest to India in Madhya Pradesh in the forest.
And uh other features like uh great Indian bustards, they are also very uh now getting extinct.
But to conserve them, the electric lines are relocated and reestablished so that they could not handle the Okay, where where it is? In Rajasthan.
Mostly in Rajasthan, sir. Over the electric line What is Uh due to the electric line supply, the they can't fly freely, they could not fly. And that's why they get die because of this. When the electric lines are the cause of their death, what can I do for them? Electrocution, sir. Electrocution to them. That because of the electric Electrocution issue. Mhm.
And then they face flying issue in flying properly.
Then the That is not agreed.
Mhm. You have to know a little more.
And they but I So there are all flying birds and non-flying birds?
They are flying birds.
I guess so.
>> [laughter] >> Then don't say it to confusion nature.
See how many places they have done it?
Not not everywhere they have done it.
There are few places where their density is more. See there they have done it.
It's an exemplary process.
And but you are missing the most important answer of this question.
Government of Odisha and Government of India has taken measures of in situ conservation and ex situ conservation of different forms like uh going for in situ conservation.
They [clears throat] have done gone for national parks, sanctuaries, mhm zoos. Yeah.
Mhm. Ex situ conservation?
Uh do ex situ uh captive breeding zoological park or botanical parks are ex situ conservation. when I'm answering, you must also try to understand whether I'm answering for a clear wrong.
I'm giving a wrong answer deliberately.
>> [laughter] >> Ex-situ conservation and in-situ conservation. They call for a little What is this difference? On-site means they should be conserved in their natural habitat.
>> Uh so, national park is a in-situ kind of conservation. Yes, yes, yes.
And then ex-situ conservation is Ex-situ, when we take them out of their natural habitat like in zoos. Yes. We get them and we try to enhance their population by artificial means. I tell you we You talked about the olive ridley turtles. What is so big about olive ridley turtles? What What benefit they're giving to us that we are so much keen on conserving them?
Why we are so much interested in this species? Olive ridley turtles are very unique in their one of the feature like they do mass nesting in So, that is their natural process. But how and why we are interested in this species? I think they are helpful in cleaning the water bodies. Hm? They're helpful in cleaning the water bodies. In which way they can clean?
By feeding the waste materials.
Feeding the waste materials?
>> Means waste means not artificial waste like the organisms.
Yes, sir.
Waste, but I'm I read about this. No, sir. That is The mercy of the Machukaima banana That is what is or whatever the food available in the sea is not the waste for the sea. Not necessarily. I read about this.
Sorry.
But they are beneficial in one way or the other, I think.
I want to do jellyfishes in the sea.
They are a detrimental species for our fish population.
Jellyfishes do we come to our help inside the sea.
And these jellyfishes take away the spawning time fishes are being eaten away by the jellyfishes.
So, fish population reduces when jelly population this population increases.
And olive ridley turtles are eating on these species.
And in the cycle, they are contributing to this the ecological cycle.
Food chain. They are contributing in taking out the jellyfishes from the sea, which indirectly promotes the fish population.
Okay, sir. I need to know more about this.
Okay.
Sir, >> [clears throat] >> you told about biodiversity. Sir, what was I saying? Yes, sir. So, what are you you discussed about? Animals. Yes, sir.
Now, what is about other aspect?
Plants. Yes. Bio means what? Both plants and animals. Then you have forgotten the one side.
Plant diversity also I Is it necessary?
Yes, sir. It is Why diversity is necessary?
Because of ecosystem services that they provide to us.
>> Suppose in a human being, also diversity is there. Our hands are like this, legs are like that, like that organ parts. Why?
The organ shape and size are They are basically because of the functions they perform.
So, biodiversity also this Similarly, it has been it is necessary for the organic evolution. Yes, sir. Organic evolution will be stopped if the diversity will not be there.
That's the whole point.
That is one point and other services like medicinal purpose You are giving a You are teaching them biology. Yes, sir.
School student. Yes, sir. 11th and 12th.
Plant cell and animal cell, one difference you tell. Plant cell and animal cell.
Plant cells One difference only.

Then is it the valid to most important is as teacher I'm telling you the wall. Cell wall. The plasma membrane and the cell wall in the plant cell. That are the major. Yes, sir.
