Intro: Biodiversity is defined as “the variability among living organisms from all sources including, inter alia, terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems.” What is Biodiversity Loss?? a decrease in biodiversity within a species, an ecosystem, a given geographic area, or Earth as a whole
How loss of Biodiversity effect:
Extreme Climate change
Effect Bird pollution
Loss of variety of species of Animal, plant.
Ecological Effects:
The loss of genes and individuals threatens the long-term survival of a species, as mates become scarce and risks from inbreeding rise when closely related survivors mate. The wholesale loss of populations also increases the risk that a particular species will become extinct.
Economic And Societal Effects:
Biodiversity loss affects economic systems and human society. Humans rely on various plants, animals, and other organisms for food, building materials, and medicines, and their availability as commodities is important to many cultures. The loss of biodiversity among these critical natural resources threatens global food security and the development of new pharmaceuticals to deal with future diseases. Simplified, homogenized ecosystems can also represent an aesthetic loss.
Cause:
Hunting
Natural Disasters
Usage of chemical like pesticide
Wildfire
Deforestation
