(i)
Flora
Fauna
1
It is defined as plant life found at a particular region or time and helps to discuss the biodiversity of that region
It is defined as animal life found at a particular region or time and helps to discuss the biodiversity of that region
2
Floras are indigenous plants grouped based on region, climate, and special environment.
They are categorized based on the region they are found in.
3
They can derive their own food
They cannot derive their own food
4
They can’t move from one place to other
They have the ability to move from one place to other
5
Weed flora are undesirable and are studied to eliminate them
Avifauna refers to birds
(ii)
Endangered
Threatened
1
Endangered species are the ones that are in danger of extinction throughout the world or a significant portion of its range.
Threatened species are the ones that are likely to become endangered in near future throughout the world or the significant portion of its range.
2
For example, Mountain gorilla and northern white whale are listed amongst the endangered species list.
For example, White Rhino and yellowfin tuna are some examples of nearly threatened species.
(iii)
Endemic
Extinct
1
Endemic species are the one which is restricted to the particular geographic area. Usually endemic are less likely to spread to other regions due to unusual climate and unique adaptation to a particular region
Extinct species are the ones that have died out the last individual of that species. The species that have not existed in wildlife for last 50 yrs are called extinct species.
2
They can be endemic to the particular continent or to a single island.
It is the end of organism or group of the organism from the world.
3
For example, the endemic region is the Hawaii island of Australia.
For example, Asiatic cheetah and Javan tiger are some of the examples of extinct animals
(iv)
Zoological park
Wildlife sanctuary
1
Zoologicals parks are manmade which buy, sell, breed and trade animals.
Wildlife sanctuaries, on the other hand, are the natural habitats of birds and animals where they can live and breed on their own.
2
Animas might have acquired from the wild with the aim of providing education and various information about wildlife to people.
The aim of this is conservation of wildlife from human disturbances and activities where animals are free to roam anywhere.
3
They are meant for touristic and entertainment purpose.
Sanctuaries have very restricted access to humans were killing and harming animals is strictly prohibited.
4
In zoos, animals are kept in the cage.
Animals here are free to roam anywhere
