Significant studies conducted over the past ten years have demonstrated the numerous advantages that protected areas, like the (Natura) 2000 network, and green infrastructure have for the economy and the welfare of people. Examples include the advantages of carbon storage, water supply and purification, flood control, soil retention, leisure and tourism, and the availability of fish and wood. These evaluations have aided in raising awareness of the value of protecting biodiversity, attracting funds for maintenance and restoration, and promoting responsible participation in protected areas. Protecting biodiversity is necessary for sustainable development. It provides us with possibilities for utilizing resources now and in the future. Pakistan has protected areas, including 14 national parks, 99 wildlife sanctuaries, 96 game reserves, 16 unclassified areas (private, proposed, or suggested), a biosphere reserve, and 9 wetlands designated by the Ramsar Convention. These groupings cover 9,170,121ha (10.4%) of the land. Pakistan's Protected Areas encompass most habitats. Size, distribution, and management don't satisfy ecosystem needs. Policy and legal frameworks, enforcement of laws, capacity building, incentives, and funding from federal and provincial governments are all mandated by various statutes aimed at protecting biodiversity. Preserving and using biological diversity requires federal policies and programs. Present review focus on importance of conservation and future assessment for inhibiting biodiversity loss.
