The world is a global village and globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and government of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political systems, on economic development and prosperity, and on human physical well being in societies around the world. This current wave of globalization has been driven by policies that have opened economies domestically and internationally. Therefore, the imperative role of science to national development cannot be neglected and there is a lively debate on the link between biological science and national development. The motivations for science research way from one field to another. Much medical research, for example, focuses on finding answers to questions such as why cancer cell develops and how to inhibit their growth. Military research is also usually focused, investigating, for instance, the effect of strong bursts of electromagnetic energy on missile guidance systems. Biological science generates continuous innovation (technological, organizational, managerial) generated by learning entities that have been shown to be responsible not only for productivity increases, but also for dynamic competitive advantage of firms, industries, education and nations in the unfolding global economy. This paper discussed environmental conservation, biological sciences with regards to the teaching Profession and implication of teaching methods to national development in biological sciences. The paper concluded that biological sciences have unravel many ideas used in education, medical, agricultural and industrial fields. Medical personnel cannot diagnose the course of a particular illness without a biological scientist in the laboratory. The paper recommended that biological sciences should form part of the training programmes in schools from secondary to tertiary institutions where students are trained.
