During her tour to a dense forest, Sakshi saw a highway being constructed which passes through the middle of the forest. She was unhappy. On return she contacted the local eco club and approached the concerned department to stop the work.  a) What values did Sakshi reflect here?  b) What would be the effect on Biodiversity if the highway is constructed?  

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:

(a) This shows that Sakshi is concerned about the wellness of environment. She knows the drawbacks of constructing the highway by removing a part of forest. It reflects her caring nature towards the biodiversity.
(b) If a highway is constructed through a forest,it would badly impact the biodiversity of the forest. It may cause the habitat loss of many animals living in the forest forcing them to find a suitable location to live. Many organisms might die. It would also impact the environment as many trees would be cut from the forest; thereby, increasing the environment pollution.
