Question:
Differentiate between the following.
(a) Wildlife sanctuary and biosphere reserve
(b) Zoo and wildlife sanctuary
(c) Endangered and extinct species
(d) Flora and fauna
Answer:
(a) Wildlife sanctuary is a protected area of land where animals are protected in their natural habitat. Hunting is strictly prohibited and punishable by law in this area and tress cannot be cut down for any purpose. Example: Sanjay Gandhi Wildlife Sanctuary (Maharashtra), Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary (Rajasthan).
A biosphere reserve is a large protected area meant for the conservation of biodiversity and the traditional lifestyle of the people living in the area. A biosphere reserve is a very large area that may contain other protected areas like a Wildlife sanctuary and National park in it. Example: Pachmarhi biosphere reserve in Madhya Pradesh consists of one National park (Satpura) and two Wildlife sanctuary (Bori and Pachmarhi).
(b) Wildlife sanctuary is a protected area of land where animals are protected in their natural habitat while Zoo is the place where the animals live in the artificial habitat. In the zoo, the animals are protected in a small area for a public view while in a wildlife sanctuary, the animals are conserved over a large area.
(c) The species which are at risk of extinction are called endangered species. Examples: Great Indian rhinoceros, tiger, snow leopard, Asiatic lion, lion-tailed macaque, etc.
The species which no longer exist (which have died completely) on Earth are called extinct species. Ex: Dinosaur, dodo, cave lion, iris deer and caspian tiger.
(d) The plants that grow naturally in a particular area are called flora and animals which live naturally in a particular area called fauna. So, the plants and animals of a particular area are called the flora and fauna of that area.

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.
