(i) Identify and protect all threatened species.
(ii) Identify and conserve in protected areas the wild relatives of all the economically important organisms
(iii) Identify and protect critical habitats for feeding, breeding, nursing, resting of each species.
(iv) Resting, feeding and breeding places of the organisms should be identified and protected
(v) Air, water and soil should be conserved on priority basis
(vi) Wild life Protection Act should be implemented
There are two aspects of conservation strategies
In-situ Conservation:
It is the on site conservation or the conservation of genetic resources in natural populations of plant (or) animal species.
Ex-situ Conservation:
This is a conservation strategy which involves placing of threatened animals and plants in special care locations for their protection.

(i) In shifting cultivation, plots of natural tree vegetation are burnt away and the cleared patches are farmed for 2-3 seasons, after which their fertility reduces to a point where crop production is no longer profitable.
(ii) The farmer then abandons this patch and cuts down a new patch of forest trees elsewhere for crop production. This system is practiced in northeastern regions of India.
(iii) When vast areas are cleared and burnt, it results in loss of forest cover, pollution, and discharge of CO₂ which in turn attributes to a loss of habitat and climate change which has an impact on the faunal diversity of that regions.
(iv) Carrot grass (Parthenium) and lantana introduced into our country have become invasive and caused environmental damage; they pose a threat to the native species of plants in our forests.

(i) Mass extinction: The extinction of a large number of species within a relatively short period of geological time
(ii) The sixth mass extinction is believed to be caused by natural forces.
(iii) It is also believed to be caused by human - related factors.
(iv) It is believed to affect relatively fewer species and affect relatively fewer areas.
Steps to prevent sixth mass extinction:
(i) Spread the word to your family friends, co-workers and social media that the extinction crisis is real
(ii) Reduce your carbon foot Print
(iii) Eat fish from only healthy fisheries
(iv) Eat less meat
(v) Enjoy nature
(vi) Never ever buy anything made from ivory
(viii) Adopt a species

Even though India is one of the 17 identified megadiverse countries of the world, it faces lots of threats to its biodiversity.
(i) Apart from natural causes, human activities, both directly and indirectly are today's main reason for habitat loss and biodiversity loss.
(ii) Fragmentation and degradation due to agricultural practices, extraction (mining, fishing, logging, harvesting) and development (settlements, industrial and associated infrastructures) lead to habitat loss and fragmentation leads to the formation of isolated, small and scattered populations and as endangered species.

(i) The introduction of the Nile Perch into Lake Victoria led to the extinction of more than 200 species of cichlid fish in that lake.
(ii) Introduction of African catfish Clarias gariepinus for aquaculture poses a threat to the indigenous catfishes in indian rivers.
