14 Biodiversity Conservation: An Imperial Need …

involved which is a state-of-art subject for sustainable environment. Biodiversity is
a renewable form of resource in many aspects but the equation of demand or these
resources with regeneration is unbalanced. There have been enormous measures to
equate it but the pandemic has proven to be instrumental tool one way but on the
other way it has brought other crisis to the surface. The use of single use plastic as
PPE material has created a need for proper disposal methods and economic recovery
at cost of biodiversity loss is a future predicted challenge. It highlights the major
changes in the environmental conditions and predicts the future challenges of future
exploitation of biodiversity. It gives a significant review for the environmentalist to
conglomerate the total impact of pandemic on environment; heath care as synergy to
the human health; augmentation of various medicinal systems in healthcare; future
preservation needs for biodiversity; changes in the legal framework for environmental
policies; environmental taxation for commercial use; and strengthening of existing
conservation measures to combat future environment curbing challenges.
