Abstract :
Biodiversity conservation and management are worldwide concern where determining the diversity levels of indicator groups of ecosystem should permit the prediction of other taxa to be present i.e., the importance and appropriateness of using invertebrate groups as indicator. This review included evolutionary aspects and environmental effect on Odonata and the role anthropogenic activity in the development of Odonata. As dragonflies are so easily observed they have considerable potential as bio-indicators. Dragonflies therefore have a potential health and economic value which is not yet fully exploited. A count of dragonflies would provide a quick, and therefore low-cost, indication of the health or sickness of the lake or river.
