Arvind Singh Jean-Pierre Jost Ather-Uz-Zaman Zaman Thank you for your suggestions and comments....My wish is to collect and record available data that can make me say one day: We have to create a protected area in this or that place. I am trying to do my best....with my colleagues and also with your advices...Thank you all of you.

Warm regards

I believe that you can use your concerns listed above as a reason why you do not give the coordinates. Similarly, you can take the pictures in a way that the location is not revealed. After all the survival of the endangered species is the main objective here. The justification for the research is to give us the information needed to protect these species.

I agree with Jan Kunnas , if you present a picture that you can prove you have taken and somehow shows that it is from your proposed area then that should provide enough evidence to strengthen your claim. Another alternative if the species is very localized to a small area you could create a map which shows a much larger area and say that the species is present somewhere around the larger area instead of presenting coordinates or similar.

It is a fine line with saying you've discovered something and then not divulging where or how, because it can easily be interpreted as faulty science that's simply made up, that's why some sort of proof is needed.

There are several ways to protect

biodiversity (plant and animal species) .Of these establishing different natural parks in the different regions in the country ,managing hunting of animals ,managing collecting of plants ,insects and birds by laws and having seed banks.In addition to breed plants or rearing insects and animals particularly those which are rare ,and then releasing them in nature.However,several ideas may be applied to animals and plants .

by constructing Natural Reserves

In addition ,to protect diversity of different plants and animals, governmental ministries and organizations need to manage and to minimize the use of insecticides ,fungicides and herbicides to keep environment clean from contamination and to maintain the survival of different species of animals and plants in nature .

Biological diversity can be protected by adopting the following measures:

I think Arvind has covered most of the area. In fact, protecting Biodiversity (plants and animals), we have to be real human being first of all having feelings for lives. Secondly, Intregrated and Organic Agriculture are crucial to save Biodiversity.The Government has lot many things to do. For exampl, application of agricultural laws on selling and distribution of Pesticides and Fungicides. One most noticeable example I would like to put now. In Banglades, during my Childhoo, I had seen "Fire Flies" in Rural areas, so beautiful to look, but all gone, not a single fly we can see now a days, WHY? Who is responsible? Another example is "Water Frog", gone extinct. So unless, we become cautious, we would not be able to save biodiversit. Thank you....

Biodiversity can be protected by a reduction of the use of herbicides and pesticides.Define and try to create large protected regions with different biotopes. And try to educate our politicians and the public about the importance of preserving the biological diversity.

I am with Dr. Jean, he has correctly advised, we have to educate our so called Politicians. I can mention the words of Sir Johnathan Swift....." Whoever could make two ears of Corns or two blades of Grasses when only one grew before would deserve better of mankind and do most essential things for the Nation than the whole races of Politicians put together".......Thank you

Nice and useful discussion .

Following

Biosphere reserves are best for protection of plant and animal diversity in nature. Every country is to identify areas for this purpose as per United Nations regulations. In cities or towns biodiversity parks can be created. Plant species can also be protected ex situ using in vitro methods.

In fact ,I like this kind of discussion . Extension to educate visitors to the nature or natural parks ,how important not to kill wild insects and animals, and not to uproot any kinds of plants .It is important not to cause fire in dried weeds or plants or woody trees .Also ,it is important not to apply pesticides or to minimize the use of pesticides to control any pests particularly insects ,mites ,fungi nematodes and weeds .Salam and best wishes .

Protection of habitats should be the first step in protecting both plants and animals. Ensuring a free/reduced invasive species ecosystem will promote a diverse of both plants and animals. Sound and sustainable environmental policies on biodiversity should be adopted by the concerned Government ministries. Involving communities in your conservation strategies will make a big deal in the protection of both plants and animals.

Under United Nations Environment program (UNEP) countries have to adopt measures for protection of animals and plants such as creation of biosphere reserves by identifying regions undisturbed by human activities in natural environment and giving full protection

to fauna and flora in these reserves. No human trespass is allowed in biosphere reserves. Further in cities or towns where human activities are on-going process National biodiversity parks can be created for protection of animals and plants. In vitro methods are also used for conservation of germplasm of biological species and gene banks established.

I like such kind of discussion.It is scientific ,informative ,and useful .Best regards for all contributors .

Insects are essential of biodiversity and food chain. Therefore, NGOs must follow up governments in preventing the use of chemical pesticides that completely destroy biodiversity....

Ather-Uz-Zaman Zaman, i completely agree with you......

Thank you all of you for your consideration and answers

I am in favor of bio reserves but that will not resolve the issue of dwindling biodiversity. To address our larger issues we need to develop a food and fiber system which is not based on large scale use of monocultures, synthetic fertilizer and pesticide. The use of these practices are largely responsible for dwindling biodiversity. The implementation of organic sustainable agriculture and forestry would be remedy we need for the short term.

Preprint THE PHILOSOPHICAL STUDY OF INTELLECT EVOLUTION

Species vary hugely in their vulnerability to persecution. At one extreme giving out the location of a highly prized specimen is a death sentence, at the other end giving out the location of even the rarest springtail in the world is unlikely to increase its risk of extinction from persecution. In between the extremes we have conjecture, some science would be very useful. Where a rare or endangered species is not intensely vulnerable to localised extinction from persecution I suspect that public awareness of its presence is likely to improve its chances of survival. Many, many more species are extinguished by bad habitat management, neglect or habitat destruction than by persecution. This could be studied by looking at historical records and comparing the fate of species at sites where their presence was suppressed or revealed (of course if the suppression was very effective we won't even know that they once occurred there!)

Biodiversity is still not acceptable among African countries, the only way to protect it, is by assuring the customers that those products under biodiversity have no impact on their health. But the moment we as agriculturist don't give such assurance, then people won't accept it..

The respective Govt. Of countries in Africa have the responsibility to establish biosphere reserves as per UN guidelines and create awareness among their people in order to remove apprehensions.

I agree with Arvind Singh, Jean-Pierre Jost and Ather-Uz-Zaman Zaman answers.

It is important not to cause fire in dried weeds or plants or woody trees .
