In the population of Peppermoth, 2 variants were already existing in the population, the black and the grey. In the absence of Industrialisation the grey moths were prevalent because they blended very well with the lichen and moss covered trees camouflage and the predators cannot spot them. The Black ones were easily spotted and killed by predators and therefore, were fewer in numbers. With Industrilisation the stems got covered with black soot. This provided better camouflage to the black variant and their number increased. If the industries had been removed the population of black moths would have declined because as stated earlier they would have been spotted better by predators and therefore be eaten more frequently.
The loss of biodiversity can be prevented by i. Practise of recycling waste paper etc. ii. Judicious exploitation of medicinal and commercial plants and animals. iii. Generating awareness among the public on the importance of biodiversity, conversation through skits, screening of films, lectures etcRead more

You have studied the story of pepper moths in England. Had the industries been removed, what impact could it have had on the moth population? Discuss.
