Mention two reasons to explain why forests and wildlife should be conserved.

Wildlife maintains an ecological balance of nature. It provides a great biological diversity. Many valuable products like musk, ivory, leather etc. are obtained from them. Forests provide us various valuable products like honey, medicines, lac, gums, resins, wood, prevent soil erosion and flood, brings rainfall, release oxygen to atmosphere which is a life supporter. Forests are habitat of variety of living organisms. Loss of biodiversity would lead to ecological imbalance so we need to conserve forests and wildlife.
