Asif et al.This book provides complete, comprehensive and broad subject based reviews complete in it-self, useful for students, teachers, researchers and all others interested in the biodiversity conservation. The field of biotechnology has been kept broad to accommodate the wide ranging topics. How biotechnology can affect and solve the problems related to biodiversity management, protection and conservation are described. Current rates of disappearance of biological and cultural diversity in the world are unprecedented. Intensive resource exploitation due to social and economic factors has led to the destruction, conversion or degradation of ecosystems. Reversing these trends requires time to time assessment to integrate conservation and development. Biotechnological tools, particularly the micropropagation technique has been helpful in developing protocols for multiplication of endangered and threatened species. Chapters are written by leading scientists in their field and include biotechnological approaches to threatened and endangered species, pteridophytes, conifers, non-conifer species of gymnosperms, tree species, impact of genetically modified crops, cryopreservation of diverse species, conservation of forest resources, and health and environment. The book will be useful to botanists, biotechnologists, environmentalists, policy makers, conservationists and NGOs working for environment protection.Sustainable Development and Biodiversity,2352-474X ;4BiodiversityConservation biologyEcology Plant breedingTreesPlant geneticsBiodiversityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19031Conservation Biology/Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19150Plant Breeding/Biotechnologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24060Tree Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L22024Plant Genetics and Genomicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L32020Biodiversity.Conservation biology.Ecology .Plant breeding.Trees.Plant genetics.Biodiversity.Conservation Biology/Ecology.Plant Breeding/Biotechnology.Tree Biology.Plant Genetics and Genomics.333.9511Ahuja M.
