| Loss of Biodiversity | ||||||||||||||||
| The loss of biodiversity is a major issue today. Loss of biodiversity is the dying out or loss of certain species of animals and plants. Loseing even one species can severly damage an environment. If something becomes extinct the animals that fed on it have lost their food source. Also the organisms that the extinct organism fed on will overpopulate. This is a problem because if something is extinct it effects everything in the environment. Humans rely on many plants for medicines and products. Loss of biodiversity is a big problem in the rain forest. Habitats are being destroyed and the organisms have few places they can go in order to survive. There are no pros of the loss of biodiversity. The cons of it are that it effects all life. Also once an organism is extinct it can not be brought back. The government is doing several things to help biodiversity. The department of conservation is working to improve biodiversity in conservation and waters. Terrestrial Biodiversity is helping in the areas of forestry and agriculture. In order to help biodiversity consumers can buy products that are not made from species that are at risk of becoming extinct. Also they can buy product that do not pollute the earth. By doing this the habitats and environments of organisms will be protected. Loss of biodiversity affects the environment. The destruction of the environment of organisms causes loss of biodiversity. When an organism is endangered it is playing a smaller role in the environment. This causes changes in the environment. In order to stop the loss of biodiversity people and the government need to work together to help protect endangered species. Also there need to be more laws made that protect certain environments that have endangered species. |
