Impact Of Biodiversity On Social, Environmental, And Economic Factors

Furthermore, it is a proven fact that biodiversity changes influence “the flow of ecosystem services”, i.e. benefits that people receive from ecosystems, including such services as provisioning, cultural, and regulating ones (Perrings 1). The most acute group of services in terms of biodiversity connection with the environment concerns regulating services, which relate to control of biological variability, presence of pathogens and pests, emergence and mitigation of environmental hazards, as well as many other

used (Spivak, 2013). The increased use of pesticides also causes bee decline, due to bees consuming them, causing death, or not finding their way back to the hive due to intoxication. Bee decline is a sustainability issue due to it affecting environmental, economical and socio-cultural concepts. The decline in bees affects the environment due to the need for interdependence. All species play a role in the ecosystem; therefore damage in one area of the system through the decline of the bees causes

Danshan Yin Environmental Studies 100 12/02/14 The Circumstances of Marine Biodiversity in China As biodiversity indicates the complex relationship between numerous species and the environment, and embodies the diversity of biotic resources, the issues of declining biodiversity have drawn people’s attention in recent decades. Although there are various biodiversity problems throughout regions on earth, the marine biodiversity circumstances in China area own a great impact on Asia marine ecosystem

carbon stock. REDD+ with carbon enhancement objective may increase conversion of bio-diverse natural ecosystem to monoculture with quick species growth. In addition, increase in afforestation and reforestation will be common by replacing high biodiversity non-forest ecosystem (Swan and McNelly, 2011). Conservation of forest in REDD+ area can lead to displacement (leakage) of deforestation and degradation to other non-REDD+ site. For example, in Indonesia, targeting carbon dense peat land forest

‘Challenges to biodiversity conservation and associated ecosystem functions’ Word Count: 2,821 1. Introduction As defined by the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD) biodiversity is “the variability among living organisms from all sources including, inter alia, terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and ecological complexes of which they are not part, diversity within species and of ecosystems” (IUCN, 2000). The continued growth of human populations and per capita consumption have resulted

Plan for Hydro and Geothermal Energy Resources to assess the environmental effects of hydropower production on cultural and biological diversity in Iceland. Field data will be collected, comparing current dammed and non-dammed rivers; looking at landscape well-being and biological diversity of birds, fish, sheep, pollinators, and vegetation. Data will be continuously collected and evaluated under the guidelines of the Environmental Impact Post-Assessment. Our framework analyzes the links between energy

PESTEL Analysis of Agricultural Industry Political factors impact the agricultural sector in factors relating to regulation, distribution, and consumption of foods in a given country. Government policies and imposed regulations have a direct effect on nutritional choices that a consumer makes, and this, in turn, affects the agriculture market (KPMG, 2012). For example, policies governing food prices or the amount of information that a consumer will receive affects the choice of the consumer. Food

was, “Biodiversity, the variety of life on earth, was vital to social and economic development and fundamental to humanity’s survival. The goods and services provided by biodiversity yielded both global and local benefits, especially in countries like India where biodiversity was directly linked with providing livelihoods and improving the socio-economic conditions of millions of people, thereby contributing to sustainable development and poverty alleviation. The continuing loss of biodiversity, largely

On the economic prospective it is equally important. Or the three pillars of the triple bottom line of people / society, Earth / Environmental and profit / economic report briefly discussed. The monitoring helps and guides us or any enterprise to get in a rite direction and be on a rite track such a way that it can run for a longer period

Traditionally, human activities used to be taken into account as an external factor in environmental issues. However there has been a growing recognition among environmental scientists that new and integrative approaches of understanding beliefs and behaviours should be introduced to address the current environmental problems. From the ancient period humans demanded water and they chose to settle near streams for efficient water supply. Through the industrial era, water was still very important
