God blessed our Earth with billions of species of plants and animals. These species are not only the beauty of our planet but also these are very important to maintain a balance in our ecosystem. Protecting them is the responsibility of Human but the balance of nature have irreversibly upset by the activities of human. Due to this, many species of plants and animals are facing the greatest extinction rate. Moreover, climatic changes, husking, inexplicable agriculture, and pollution are the impacts of human activities.

The pesticides are also very harmful to animals and plants. The chemicals in pesticides are not only beneficial to increase agricultural production but also affects animals’ species. Many useful insects are also affected due to pesticides.
