 BIODIVERSITY
-is the variety and variability of life on earth.
Biodiversity is typically a measure of variation at the
genetic, species, and ecosystem level. Biodiversity is
comprised of several levels, starting with genes, then
individual species and communities of creatures.
BIODIVERSITY
Biodiversity is the foundation of ecosystem services to which human well-being
is personally connected. No highlight of Earth is more complex, dynamic, and
changed than the layer of living organisms that possess its surfaces and its
oceans, and no highlight is encountering more sensational change at the hands
of people than this exceptional, uniquely special highlight of earth.
Biodiversity is basically everywhere, omnipresent on Earth’s surface and in each
drop of its bodies of water. The virtual ubiquity of life on Soil is at times
acknowledged since most living beings are small (<5 centimeters); their
presence is scanty, transient, or enigmatic, or, within the case of organisms, they
are imperceptible to the unaided human eye.
HOW BIODIVERSITY COLLAPSES AND
SUFFERS JUST TO PROVIDE HUMAN
NECESSITIES FOR SURVIVAL
Sometimes the collapse of an ecosystem is the result of natural
causes. Forest fires, floods and volcanic eruptions all have the
potential to destroy an ecosystem in a given area. However, these
natural types of biodiversity loss are normal — and the planet has a
plan in place to restore them once the damage has passed. Some
seeds, like those from a number of pine trees, won't even germinate
unless their parent tree has burned in a wildfire.
 HUMAN INTERVENTION HAS CAUSED THE MAJORITY OF BIODIVERSITY
LOSS IN THE LAST FEW DECADES. COMMON CAUSES INCLUDE:

 Climate Change: Changes in the climate can happen naturally over millions of years — just look
at the end of the last ice age. This time, though, climate change has been the result of human
intervention. It's happening too quickly, and species can't adapt quickly enough, so they're dying
out.
 Overfishing: It's difficult to put a number on overfishing because most of the ocean is still
unexplored, but it's estimated that anywhere from 60 to 90 percent of the ocean has been
overfished or is on the verge of collapse.
 Overpopulation: There are currently 7.4 billion people on the planet. Experts estimate that the
planet is only capable of supporting roughly 10 billion souls, a number we're expected to reach
and exceed in the next 100 years.
 HUMAN INTERVENTION HAS CAUSED THE MAJORITY OF BIODIVERSITY
LOSS IN THE LAST FEW DECADES. COMMON CAUSES INCLUDE:

 Deforestation: When we cut down a forest to use its lumber, or claim the land for
agricultural purposes, we are destroying unique ecosystems that can't exist
anywhere else.
 Invasive Species: Species introduced in an area where they have no natural
predators can decimate an ecosystem. Good examples of this are the pythons in the
Florida Everglades and lionfish in the Gulf of Mexico. Most of these invasive
species are linked directly to human intervention.
 Pollution: Garbage dumped into the water supply, chemical runoff from industrial
applications, and air pollution from cars and factories all have a negative effect.
DEFORESTATION AND FOREST DEGRADATION IN THE KEY TROPICAL
REGIONS OF THE WORLD
As of 2018 report of BBC News,
The unprecedented and accelerating
deterioration of nature in the past 50
years has been driven by
overexploitation in land and sea
use. More than a ⅓ of the world’s
land surface and nearly 75 % of its
freshwater sources are now used for
crop or livestock production.

Agriculture is itself a major driver

of biodiversity loss, with pesticides,
soil erosion and forest clearance
destroying habitats and sinking
wildlife populations. And in
addition to its effect on food
systems, the devastation of the
earth’s soil reduces its ability to
retain water, hitting humans by
increasing water stress and the
frequency of floods.
To endure the emerging needs in this world we’ve come up to
an advocacy,

P.I.E.S.E.
P - ROTECTION OF
I - NDIGENOUS PEOPLE’S RIGHT,
E - NVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION WITH
S - USTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
AND
E - COLOGICAL EDUCATION
 P.I.E.S.E.

 Protection of Indigenous people’s right, we should give and protect the rights of
indigenous people as stewards of the environment within their ancestral domain.
 Environmental preservation, preserve the rich biodiversity and protect it from
environmental exploitation through the promotion of 3R’S, water segregation, use of
natural product, ecological agriculture and other ways.
 S ustainable development plan, promote sustainable development through eco-
tourism, organic agriculture and environment friendly livelihood programs, among
others.
 Ecological education, educate each and everyone and mainly focusing on the youth to
the importance the biodiversity and natural beauty of our world, our home.
