Abstract
It is known that biodiversity is a natural or biological variation among the different types of plants and animals either in the planet or in particular domain, in which a high rank is contemplated as essential and prudent. Biodiversity comprises of all kinds and forms of species such as blue whales to the microscopic bacteria, Fig. 7.1. All the variety of plants around, animals present in a forest, and the different forms of life such as animals, bacteria, birds, and much more are the variations in nature, forms the ecosystem .
