International Symposium on Biodiversity, Agriculture, Environment and Forestry

There are vast number of organisms found on earth which interact with each other and also with the surroundings. Diversity among the living species called as biodiversity constitutes animals, plants and microorganisms. The living and non-living things in the earth interact each other which may be in a favourable or unfavourable manner in a surrounding called environment. In other words, environment can be defined as naturally built surrounding for animal and plant activities. Human beings divided the earth into many parts for the purpose of constructing homes, industries, agriculture practices and for many other purposes. All these anthropogenic activities lead to loss of natural biodiversity and many wild plants and animals losing their shelter. Consequently, the existence of lots of species of plants and animals becomes threatened. Maintenance of reserve forest becomes necessary in order to provide shelter to many endangered species of animals as well as plants. The study of biodiversity, agriculture, environment and forestry are all interconnected with each other in one or the other way. Any sort of imbalance among these four areas causes adverse effects to human beings. Since agriculture fulfils the need of hunger, proper applications of technology and fertilizers in that area is needed. Forests provide raw materials for various industries like paper and pharmaceutical, forest encloses richness in its diversity and property. Science now a days with new inventions making way to retain the natural environment on earth with lots of efforts and possible experiments, with the help of tissue culture technology, many endangered species of forests or wild trees having medicinal and industrial applications are being propagated; the application of several other techniques also have significance in biodiversity assessment, agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability, with the aim of conserving the biodiversity, agriculture, environment and forests.
