Biodiversity

The world is declining in biodiversity, 52% of it is gone. About 1% of the world species go extinct a year. That’s 1’000 to 10’000 species loss. Accompanying it, 19’300 species are endangered. Latin America loss 83% of its wildlife. Over half of Malaysia’s river fish species disappear during deforestation. Half of Australian state governments exploit the uses of national parks. The Alpine suffer dramatic biodiversity loss. The earth is clearly losing biodiversity. This is huge unnoticed threat that

Biodiversity is life, it heals us as more than 70,000 plant and trees species on earth are used in medicine. It gives us shelter, without wood we couldn't build houses, furniture or tools. Biodiversity provides us with food and clothes. The biodiversity of this world is not permanent; it can change by time and human activities. So we need to keep a balance between all three elements to enrich our Earth with benefits that biodiversity provides us. To make the ecosystem strong, the interwining between

(Unit 4). Biodiversity of availability of resources has affected both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems in terms of animal life diversity, nesting and protection for the young. In terrestrial ecosystems, when there is a low amount of diversity of resources, for example, they have only plants that are roughly all the same size, there won’t be much animal life diversity. Different animals need different types of living situations, even if they are in the same ecosystem. With little biodiversity of plants

Abstract This study investigated the biodiversity at Lido Beach in Long Island. The objective was to investigate how biodiversity changed for areas away from human habitat. Salt marshes and wetland are under severe threat due to irresponsible actions on the part of humans. There needs to be an awareness and understanding in the general public as to the importance of these natural habitats and their significance to the general ecosystem. There is enough evidence to suggest the degradation has

the world’s biodiversity is in a deplorable state. As more and more companies access and exploit natural resources at a rate which the land cannot compensate, more and more organisms are disappearing from the planet. Although some may believe that the companies actions have no effect on the environment, it cannot be denied that many species are endangered or already extinct because of their actions; companies indirectly and directly affect the biodiversity in the world. Biodiversity is the number

Introduction: Biodiversity, or biological diversity, is a term first coined in 1985 by Walter G. Rosen concerning the number of species in a particular habitat and revolved around the idea that diversity cannot solely be understood through numbers (Maclaurin and Sterelny, 2012). However, before 1985 biodiversity was related to concepts of “genetic diversity and ecological diversity”. This allowed to further define ecological diversity with species richness as “the number of species in a community

Biodiversity crisis is the conflict arising from the dependency of the living and the non-living things which act as life supporting unit. Mostly is caused by negative effects of the living ecosystem and habitat causing threat, disappearance and the extinction of species within the environment. This is because the species play a key role in ensuring the current and the future generation meets their needs. When the species are threatened, it means its population is declining compared to the previous

Biodiversity Conservation in Australia Biodiversity exists in every type of environment. Our existence, as humans, depends greatly on these environments, whether it be for food, materials, or energy. Thus, the conservation of this biodiversity is crucial in sustaining life on Earth. Currently in Australia, the risk of extinction is very real for thousands of species. This is not only detrimental to the actual threatened species, but also for all of the other species in the ecosystem that depend

The government using large scale efforts to conserve biodiversity or ecosystem services most effectively complement bottom-up conservation efforts led by local communities because they give more research answers to them. Government-ran records of biodiversity conservation attempts help bottom-up attempts not only because they provide more information, they provide ideas on how to fix the problem, and they usually help. Biodiversity loss is caused by local, global, and regional factors, so this problem
