What is the role of a nature scientist?
A nature scientist studies plants and animals to understand their features, behaviour, and relationships. Nature scientists guide people in exploring forests and help them observe wildlife without harming the environment. They identify different species of plants and animals, study their habitats, and understand how living beings depend on each other. Nature scientists also help protect forests by teaching people about conservation and safety rules. They play an important role in researching biodiversity and finding ways to preserve nature for future generations.
Explanation
Page 4 introduces Abha Didi as 'a nature scientist who studies plants and animals' who 'will guide us in exploring the forest.' Throughout the chapter, the nature scientist helps students identify animals, birds, insects, and plants, and teaches them about features like the hornbill's headgear, different types of beaks, and leaf patterns.
