3. DEFINITION.
 Biodiversity is the vareity of animals,
plants micoorganisms and fungi found
on this planet including the geographic
locations they are found in.
 The concept was coined in 1985.

4. TYPES
 GENETIC DIVERSITY
 Genetic diversity is the process in
which the individuals of the
same species mutates or evolves by
natural selection due to the
different environment they belongs
in.
 Genetic diversity helps species to
adapt to environmental changes.

5.  SPECIES DIVERSITY
 It is the variety of species within a habitat or
a region.
 In total it is said that there are between 5 to
10 million species.
 The species are grouped into families.

6.  ECOSYSTEM DIVERSITY
 Ecosystem diversity is a type of
biodiversity.
 It is the variation in ecosystems found in
a region or the variation in the
ecosystems over the whole planet.
 Example:
 Desert.
 Forest.
 Old-growth forest.
 Acuatic ecosystem.
 Rainforest.
 Gelisol.
 Coral reef.

7. What factors contribute to
the loss of biodiversity?
 The main factor is the loss and deterioration
of habitats.
 Other factors are:
 Climate change.
 The invasive species.
 Pollution.

8. Measures to conserve biodiversity.
 Reduce your consumption.
 Reuse and recycle.
 Reduce your energy demand.
