Role of Education in Biodiversity Conservation and Waste Management
Subject area: Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences · Area of research: Zoology
Abstract
Climate change, industrialization, human population growth and land use change are among the most important threats to environment. Local appreciation of ecosystem services and knowledge of how the foundation of these services is affected by local livelihoods are important for the sustainability of natural resources and thus may fundamentally affect human well-being. The awareness of ecosystem services gained via the education programme suggests that education programmes can be an important tool in conservation of our biodiversity. Environmental education act as a powerful tool for raising awareness and development of a sense of responsibility towards the environment. By giving knowledge to public about the relationships within ecosystems and the importance of biodiversity, environmental education helps in the conservation of natural resources and treatment of waste management. Thus, education is essential for the sustainable and equitable use of biodiversity and its conservation. It is also crucial for mainstreaming biodiversity.
