Keywords: Biodiversity, Climate change, Conservation, Ecosystem, Human health, livelihood, Species. INTRODUCTION Biodiversity is the 'Full variety of Life on Earth'. It includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystem. The term biodiversity is generally used for natural environment and its conservation. According to UNCED (United Nations Conference on the Environmental and Development), 'Biodiversity means the variability among living organisms from all sources including, inter alia, terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems.' In the simplest sense, biodiversity may be defined as the sum total of species richness, i.e. the number of species of plants, animals and microorganisms occurring in a given region, country, continent of the entire globe. Broadly speaking, the term biodiversity includes genetic diversity (Diversity of genes within a species), species diversity (Diversity among species), ecosystem diversity (Diversity at the level of community/ecosystem) and habitat diversity. The genetic diversity acts as a buffer for biodiversity (Verma, 2017a). Biodiversity is the very basis of human survival and economic development. It helps in maintaining the ecological balance. There is a necessity of ecological balance for widespread biodiversity (Verma 2017b). It plays an important role in the function of an ecosystem by providing many services like nutrients and water cycling, soil formation and retention, resistance against invasive species, pollination of plants, regulation of climate, as well as pest and pollution. Biodiversity is also the source of non-material benefits like spiritual and aesthetic values
