Scientists are concerned about bee species dying off. They are pollinators, and if they are gone, many plant species will die off because they cannot reproduce. This will cause a population crash. What will happen to biodiversity and sustainability as a result.

Concept explainers

Conservation Biology

The study of how to prevent the loss of biological diversity on the planet is called conservation. Biological diversity, also termed biodiversity, consists of various life forms found in a specific location or across the entire planet, including ecosystems, species, populations, and genes. Conservation thus aims to protect the diversity of life at all levels of biological organization.
