How can you, as an individual, prevent loss of biodiversity? 

We have studied that human interventions have hastened the loss of biodiversity and loss of habitat Is a major cause for this. If we can work towards reducing the loss of habitat, then it will help in preventing the loss of biodiversity. Following steps can be taken to achieve this: 
(i) Reduce: I will reduce my consumption of various Items. Reduction in demand will help in reducing the demand for natural resources. This will help in reducing deforestation and thus will help In preventing the loss of biodiversity.
(ii) Reuse: I will reuse old items whenever possible. Old containers can be used for keeping household items. Reuse also helps in reducing the drain of natural resources. 
(iii) Recycle: I will recycle various Items. For example; old newspaper can be used for making papier mache items. Old and discarded clothes can be used for making shopping bags and curtains. 
Apart from reducing the drain on natural resources; three Rs also help in minimizing pollution. If pollution can be checked, it will surely help in protecting the biodiversity.
