Biodiversity and Conservation is one of the most factual chapters in NEET Biology, making well-organised notes essential for rapid revision. Key numerical facts include: there are approximately 1.5 million described species globally, India houses about 8.1 percent of global species diversity, the Western Ghats hotspot contains over 5,000 plant species with 1,500+ endemics, and the current extinction rate is 100-1,000 times the natural background rate. The three levels of biodiversity (genetic, species, and ecosystem) should be noted with specific examples. The species-area relationship follows a logarithmic curve: log S = log C + Z log A, where Z typically equals 0.1-0.2 for areas within a continent but increases to 0.6-1.2 for island biogeography. The IUCN Red List categories from Extinct to Least Concern provide a framework for assessing species threat levels, and NEET may test specific Indian species in each category.
Conservation strategies divide into in-situ (protecting species in their natural habitat) and ex-situ (maintaining species outside their habitat). India has 106 National Parks, 551 Wildlife Sanctuaries, and 18 Biosphere Reserves as in-situ conservation areas. Notable examples include Jim Corbett National Park (the first in India), Kaziranga for one-horned rhinoceros, and Ranthambore for tigers. Ex-situ conservation includes zoological parks, botanical gardens, seed banks (like the Svalbard Global Seed Vault), and cryopreservation of gametes and embryos. The HIPPO model summarises threats to biodiversity: Habitat loss and fragmentation (the most significant cause), Invasive alien species, Pollution, Population growth, and Over-exploitation. International conservation efforts include the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) from the 1992 Rio Earth Summit. NEET questions test both factual recall of specific protected areas and conceptual understanding of why conservation is ecologically necessary.
