Why should grassland conservation get importance equal to forest conservation?

Correct answer: Because grasslands are also habitats for specific organisms and ecological relations

The direct answer is Option C: grasslands are habitats for particular organisms and ecological relationships. A habitat is a place where plants, animals and small organisms find food, water, shelter and breeding conditions. Grasslands are not empty land. Their grasses, herbs, insects, birds, reptiles, grazing animals, predators and decomposers form connected food chains. They also protect soil, support pollinators and provide livelihoods in some regions. Therefore, conservation must protect different ecosystems, not only forests. Option A is wrong because grasslands do not always prevent forests from forming; natural conditions and human management differ from place to place. Option B is wrong because grasslands contain abundant life. Option C is correct because special species and ecological links depend on them. Option D is wrong because biodiversity is created by many kinds of organisms and habitats, not only trees. Memory cue: conservation means protecting every valuable ecosystem, including grasslands.
