The Algal Diversity: Its Conservation Strategies

The term “Biodiversity” refers to the variety and variability among organisms and the ecological complexes in which they occur. Thus, biodiversity can be defined as the totality of genes, species and ecosystem of a region. Sustainable management ensures that the rate of exploitation of biological species by man does not exceed the rate of their regeneration or reproduction. Sustainable management of biodiversity ensure the survival of all the biological species in the world and thereby follows the same trend of nature. So sustainable management can be called a nature-friendly approach. Sustainable management of algal biodiversity promotes the maintenance of genetic diversity that is the basis of any genetic improvement work and indirectly promotes climatic stability and soil productivity. Diverse algalogical species and their gene pool act as the storehouse of valuable genes that can exhibit suitable phenotypes to overcome the biotic as well as abiotic stresses. Sustainable management of algal biodiversity thus holds a great promise in ensuring better life support to our offspring through food, manure and pharamaceutical security. It is the sustainable management alone that can utilize algaldiversity not only to meet our present needs but also future needs.
