Answer in brief:

(c) Some tribals depend on the jungle. How?
(d) What are the causes and consequences of deforestation?
(e) What is Red Data Book?
(f) What do you understand by the term migration?
Answer:
(a) Biodiversity refers to the variety of organisms existing on the earth, their interrelationships, and their relationship with the environment. We should save biodiversity because it is very important for the environment and all the living organisms present on earth. It maintains the balance in the ecosystem as both plants and animals depend on each other for their survival.
(b) People who live near the forest depend on the forest for certain resources that are important for their livelihood. So, they can hunt the animals that lived in the protected forest. The animals also feel threatened by the presence of the human population around them. This results in the killing of wild animals and selling their parts for money.
(c) Forest is the source of food and shelter for tribal people. It provided fruits, vegetables, fuels fodder, and other resources that are essential for the livelihood of the tribal people.
(d) Deforestation and Its Causes - Clearing forests by cutting trees on large scale is called deforestation. Causes of deforestation are:
1. The trees in the forest are cut to obtain wood.
2. To get land for building houses, factories, and industries.
3. The trees are cut to get land for cultivation.
The consequences of deforestation are:
1. Increase in the temperature leading to Global Warming
2. Increase level of carbon dioxide in the air
3. Decrease in the underground water level
4. Flood
5. Desertification
6. Animal life is affected by deforestation
(e) The Red Data Book keeps a record of all the endangered animals and plants. It is maintained internationally by an organization. It is also maintained by India.
(f) Migration is defined as the movement of the organisms or the group of organisms from one to another. The birds which move from extreme cold places to warmer places in winter and go back after the winter is over are called migratory birds. They escape from the extreme cold condition of their natural habitat in order to survive and for the breed (laying eggs).

What our students and parents say about us!
Saiyam is using EduSaksham online courses from past one year. He is able to complete his tutorials, worksheets, and assignments on his own. Once he is done with worksheets, he can check his answers and if he has done any mistakes, then he can check the correct answers and explanations. They have been given so well that he is able to understand them himself and rarely he asks us for any clarification. He enjoys using the platform and has learned and improved a lot in Mathematics. I would recommend EduSaksham to all parents who want their kids to learn in a structured way and also enjoy the learning process.

Neeraj (Saiyam's Father)
I would like to thank Edusaksham on behalf of my son Aditya who attended " Math Olympiad crash course for 5 weeks". As per Aditya, this course helped him to understand new topics like Roman numerals and decimal places which were not taught in his school till date and had a better understanding of other topics. I personally thank EduSaksham for all the help and support.

Geeta Bansal (Aditya's Mother)
We had a good experience with EduSaksham. Because sheets are available online, Vedant enjoyed doing more and more sheets without any reminders. I could leave him on his own as he was very much motivated to cover the topics. Practice is very important in maths but it becomes difficult for us to prepare sheets, I am glad we found EduSaksham where in a lot of in a lot of sheets are available for practice and the quality of questions are also good. As it's a venture from IITians we could think of giving it a try and I am glad we tried

Shikha Chowdhary (Vedant's Mother)
I have grown up in a family where my father used to give me practice maths paper every day which I need to finish before I go to play. I think that strong foundation of solving new questions every day helped me to clear my IITJEE exam. But as working women, I always had time challenge to create practice Math papers for my daughter. Thanks to EduSaksham, their questions are so logical and conceptual that I don't feel the guilt of not creating practice questions by myself :). There are plenty of worksheet along with the tutorials for each chapter. It has made parents life easier :) And the best part is my daughter loves doing it. Thank you EduSaksham.
