ವನ್ಯಜೀವಿಗಳು ಬದುಕಿ ಉಳಿಯುವ ಹಾಗೆ ನೋಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದು
ಸಂತತಿ ಬೆಳೆಯುವ ಹಾಗೆ ನೋಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದು
ವಾಸಿಸುವ ನೆಲೆ ಹಾಳಾಗದೆ ಇರುವ ಹಾಗೆ ಕಾಪಾಡುವುದು.
ಅವುಗಳ ನೆಲೆಯ ಮೇಲೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಒತ್ತಡಗಳನ್ನು ಕಡಿಮೆ ಮಾಡುವುದು
ಪ್ರಪಂಚದಲ್ಲಿ 14 ಲಕ್ಷ ಜೀವಿ ಪ್ರಭೇದಗಲು ಮಾತ್ರ ಉಳಿದಿವೆ ಪ್ರಪಂಚದ ಆಹಾರ ಉತ್ಪಾದನೆ ಶೇ. 90 ಭಾಗ ಕೇವಲ 20 ಜಾತಿಯ ಸಸ್ಯಗಳಿಂದ ಮಾತ್ರ ಲಭಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.ಶೇಕಡ 50 ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಔಷಧಗಳ ಸಸ್ಯಮೂಲಗಳಿಂದ ಬರುತ್ತಿವೆ.
