Biodiversity: Who Cares? Biodiversity is important for many reasons. One reason it is important is for biological reasons. If biodiversity is affected in a biological community it can cause species to overpopulate or become extinct. These changes can cause issues with the goods and services that an ecosystem provides to humanity. Species’ functional characteristics influence the ecosystem properties. Every species depends on each other. If one is wiped out then another species will lose their

Biodiversity J.N.M Grade 10A HIS Ms. C.W Biodiversity is the biological variety or diversity of life on Earth (Anup). It is a connection between all organisms ("10 Surprising Threats to Biodiversity"); these organisms are all part of a “biologically diverse Earth.” Biodiversity enhances productivity in an ecosystem in which all species have an important role to play. Not only does it enhance productivity but also when it is conserved and healthy‚ it offers us many different

Rachel Newell Walter Zeller International Relations November 18‚2013 Loss of Biodiversity David Ehrenfeld says in his book Biodiversity “The value of biological diversity tells us a great deal about why biological diversity is in trouble”(212). People tend to over look the importance of biodiversity. Without it we would lose a lot of the resources that we use for important and everyday things. One example is that a lot of medicines come from plants‚ and the more plants we have on the planet

Extinction of Earth’s Wildlife Over the last 40 years the Earth’s wildlife population has drastically declined in numbers. Since 1970‚ the world has lost 52% of its biodiversity. This was announced by the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) September 30‚ 2014. Animal populations such as mammals‚ birds‚ reptiles‚ fish‚ and amphibians are about half the size they were 40 years ago. This is a much greater decrease than the scientists originally anticipated. More than 10‚000 animal populations were studied by
