This book reviews the important role of biotechnological innovations
in achieving sustainable development goals and conserving global
biodiversity. It presents the latest biotechnological techniques used
to identify and characterize various groups of plants and animals,
such as genomic tools for animal identification, and DNA barcoding for
precise plant characterization. It also reviews the utility of
proteomics and metabolomics in enhancing our understanding of diverse
species. The book also discusses responsible development and
sustainable utilization of bioresources, including strategies for
conserving and managing bioresources, bioprospecting for novel
biodiscoveries, and sustainable agricultural practices to preserve
agrobiodiversity. Further, the book addresses the pressing challenges
faced by biodiversity, including the far-reaching effects of climate
change, the threat posed by invasive species, the consequences of
pollution on biodiversity degradation, and the interplay between
diseases and biodiversity decline. Toward the end, the book analyzes
the impact of environmental degradation on biodiversity and explores
emerging technologies in biodiversity conservation, focusing on
genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The book will interest
scientists, researchers, policymakers, environmentalists, academics,
and students involved in biotechnology, ecology, genetics, and
conservation biology. Key Features: Discusses cutting-edge
biotechnological innovations for biodiversity conservation Presents
cutting-edge biotechnological techniques for identifying and
characterizing selected groups of plants and animals Addresses
critical environmental challenges such as climate change, invasive
species, and pollution
