Learn about the tragic effects that are causing harm on the environment and ultimately causing the loss of bio-diversity. Learn how you can make changes in your lifestyle to reduce the depletion of the ecosystem

1. STOP THE
LOSS OF
BIODIVERSITY

2. THE LOSS OF BIO-DIVERSITY IS
BECOMING MORE PROMINENT
THAN EVER BEFORE, THIS
CONSISTENT DECREASE OF
SPECIES AND ECOSYSTEMS IS
DIMINISHING THE PLACE IN WHICH
SOCIETY CALLS HOME, PLANET
EARTH

3. THE FUNDAMENTAL STAKE
HOLDERS IN THIS SITUATION ARE
THE SPECIES AND HABITATS, AS
THE LOSS IN BIODIVERSITY
CONSEQUENTLY LEADS TO THE
BREAKDOWN OF FUNCTIONING
ECOSYSTEM.(RAFFERTY. JP. 2019)

4. SOCIETIES UNDERSTANDING OF
THE LOSS OF BIODIVERSITY SIMPLY
REFLECTS THE LOSS OF
PARTICULAR GENETIC SPECIES,
HOWEVER IT IS MORE DEEPER
THAN THAT, THE LOSS OF
BIODIVERSITY LEADS TO THE
ERADICATION OF AN ENTIRE
SPECIES FROM THE BIOSPHERE

5. THE LOSS OF BIODIVERSITY ALSO
ENCOMPASSES THE LOSS OF
WETLANDS, CORAL, AND MARINE
ENVIRONMENTS, AS WELL AS,
NATURAL RESOURCES LIKE WATER,
SPECIFICALLY SEA LEVELS.
HOWEVER, IT WOULD BE IGNORANT
TO ONLY THINK THAT SPECIES LOSS
WAS THE ONLY EFFECT OF
BIODIVERSITY DECLINATION, THE
SUDDEN POPULATION DROP ALSO
UPSETS SOCIAL STRUCTURES OF
SPECIES.

6. STATISTICS ON THE LOSS OF
BIODIVERSITY
Almost 33%: reef
forming corals,
sharks and shark
relatives, and >33%
marine mammals
threatened with
extinction
Up to 1
million:
species
threatened
with
extinction,
many within
decades
30%: reduction
in global
terrestrial
habitat
integrity
caused by
habitat loss
and
deterioration
>85%: of
wetlands present
in 1700 had
been lost by
2000 – loss of
wetlands is
currently three
times faster, in
percentage
terms, than 75%: terrestrial
environment
“severely altered” to
date by human
actions (marine
environments 66%)

7. STRATEGIES TO TACKLE THE LOSS
OF BIODIVERSITY
RECYCLE, REUSE
AND REDUCE
Recycling
decreases
pollution by
decreasing energy,
electricity, and
water consumption
and the need for
landfills
GREEN YOUR
COMMUTE
by riding or
catching public
transport to
reduce carbon
emissions
EAT MORE
MEAT FREE
MEALS thus
reducing the
exploitation
of organisms

8. ALTERNATIVE STRATEGIES
ECOLOGICAL
STRATERGIES
AUDIENCE JUSTIFICATION
Raising awareness Anyone Raising awareness is the most beneficial tool that allows the community
to become informed of the biodiversity decline surrounding them. This
can be explored through social media posts, infographics, PowerPoints
or public presentations and events. It can therefore implement actions to
be upheld in order to become more considerate and sustainable towards
the environment and ultimately can contribute to the reversal of the loss
of the ecosystem.
Start a fundraiser Anyone Collecting funds to support the rebuild and protection of the
environment is a beneficial tool if an individual can not personally
implement change in their life. These funds can then go to organisations
that implement protection within wildlife communities like WWF or could
go towards Carbon Neutral who plant new trees in order to restore the
causal factors implications.
Protection of animals
habitats
Anyone This could simply mean putting your rubbish in the correct bin system or
being mindful of your surrounding and be aware of any rubbish to be
cleaned up. This could also mean taking time out of your day to clean up
animal habitats like beaches, forests, or other undeveloped areas.
