2. • People depend on biodiversity. However, millions of species are gravely endangered because of human’s
petty gains. Diverse species are the tireless stewards of the land, air, and water, and we need them for
continued survival on Earth.
• The loss of biodiversity is threatening our lives and taking us to the severity and climate
adversity.
• Here are some key facts that are threatening our future due to the
increased biodiversity loss:
• ● Threats to Health Pharmacological Sciences
• The constant drop in the biological diversity of microorganisms and flora & fauna is a huge concern in
human health and pharmacological sciences as we also depend on nature for medical and pharma
discoveries. If losing biodiversity continues, we may limit our discovery of potential treatments for many
health problems and diseases.

3. • Nutritional Impact on Humans Due to the Loss of
Biodiversity
• Biodiversity plays a crucial role in human nutrition through various natural resources. The influence of loss in biodiversity on world food production is a great concern. We are forcing
nature to work according to us and believing the sustainable productivity of soils, livestock, crops, and marine species continues.
• The overconsumption of the environment is leaving grave imprints on the amount of nutrition. Food is a fundamental determinant for human survival & our health.
• The species and genetic diversity play their role in cultivating the soil for edible plants’ breeds. But with the continued development of cities, infrastructure and urbanization are forcing
them to endanger.
• As a result, the nutritional composition between cultivars and food loss is affecting micronutrient availability in our diet.
• ● Sharp Rise in Infectious Diseases
• Human activities are constantly disturbing both the structure and functions of eco systems & native biodiversity.
Such disturbances result from the abundance’s reduction of some organisms. This
is causing population growth in other species and altering the interactions between organisms & their chemical and physical environment. The pattern of infectious diseases
is sensitive. It is transmitting dangerous diseases into the lives of people. However, it is completely normal, as we have already damaged nature with
our acts, such as deforestation, land use-change and over construction through irrigation, dam
building, urban sprawl to pesticide chemicals used to control disease, climate
variability, and change.

4. • ● Climate Change, Biodiversity, and Human Health
• Biodiversity offers various ecosystem services that are important to human well-being at present and in the
future. However, the climate is another integral part of ecosystem functioning, which affects human health
directly and indirectly. The increasing climatic conditions & marine ecosystems are also impacting human lives
in diverse ways.
• As we are making the ocean toxic with the rising levels of carbon in the atmosphere, we
face disastrous conditions, such as drought and flooding. However, it is not the only fact;
we are also barricading the cycle of the ecosystem and plant growth.

5. How Mobius
Foundation
is Making an
Impact on
Restoring
Our
Environment
?
• Mr. Pradip Burman founded Mobius
Foundation, a non-profit organization in
Delhi to spread awareness of why the
environment is important for survival. It has
launched a mass tree planting campaign in
2018 under the name of ‘Project
Sanjeevani’ and planted over 5000 saplings
in collaboration with many schools, self-help
groups, farmers, NGOs,
and Kisaan club members.
• With the initiative, Mobius
Foundation believes in reducing pollution
and carbon footprint individually by
practising sustainability and planting trees.
