Biodiversity refers to the variety of plant and animal species in a particular region. Each species is interconnected and dependent on others for survival. Loss of biodiversity threatens ecosystem balance. Key threats include habitat loss, pollution, overexploitation, introduction of invasive species, and climate change. Areas with exceptionally high biodiversity that are also under threat, like the Eastern Himalayas and Western Ghats in India, are considered biodiversity hotspots.
This document discusses biodiversity at multiple levels - genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity. It notes that biodiversity represents the variety of life forms from unicellular to multicellular organisms across all biological levels. Species diversity is largest among small organisms like insects and fungi. The document highlights that we have only described 15% of terrestrial species and 9% of marine species, showing how much biodiversity remains unknown. It also discusses the value of biodiversity through the ecosystem services it provides like nutrient cycling, soil conditioning, climate regulation, and providing natural resources for food, medicine and other uses. Maintaining biodiversity acts as an environmental insurance and ensures ecosystem resilience.
Biodiversity and its Conservation methodsNishat Fatima
The document provides information about biodiversity and its conservation. It defines biodiversity as the variety of life on Earth, including genetic diversity, species diversity, and ecosystem diversity. It notes that biodiversity is being lost due to factors like habitat destruction, overexploitation, pollution, invasive species, and climate change. The document then discusses approaches to conserving biodiversity, including both in-situ conservation methods like protected areas as well as ex-situ conservation methods like seed banks, gene banks, botanical gardens, and zoos. Overall, the document emphasizes the importance of biodiversity for human life and the need to balance development with conservation through sustainable practices and policies.
This document discusses biodiversity and its conservation. It defines biodiversity as the variety of ecosystems, species, and genetic diversity present in different regions. It notes that genetic, species, and ecological diversity are the main levels of biological organization. The tropics have the highest species diversity due to longer evolutionary timescales. Species diversity increases with area. Biodiversity loss is largely due to habitat loss, overexploitation, invasive species, and coextinctions. Conservation efforts focus on protecting biodiversity hotspots and using ex situ and in situ conservation methods. International agreements like the Convention on Biological Diversity aim to promote biodiversity conservation.
Biodiversity is essential for human well-being and survival. It provides vital goods and services like food, medicine, clean air and water. Each species, no matter how small, plays an important role in ecosystem productivity and sustainability. At least 40% of the global economy and 80% of needs of poor people are derived from biological resources. Biodiversity also has immense aesthetic, cultural and spiritual value for humans. While we have benefited from biodiversity in many known ways, most of its benefits are still unknown as important species and ecosystem functions have yet to be discovered. Loss of biodiversity therefore poses a major threat to humanity's future welfare and progress.
In-situ and ex-situ conservation are the two main strategies for conserving biodiversity. In-situ conservation involves protecting species within their natural habitats through techniques like establishing protected areas and reserves. This allows species to evolve naturally and maintain genetic variation. Ex-situ conservation involves protecting species outside their natural habitats, such as in zoos, botanical gardens, seed banks, and captive breeding programs. Both approaches are important and complementary, with in-situ conservation preferred but ex-situ providing an insurance policy against extinction.

Threats to Indian biodiversity include habitat destruction, pollution, climate change, and overexploitation. Conservation efforts include protected areas like national parks and wildlife sanctuaries as well as ex situ methods such as botanical gardens, zoos, and gene banks. India has significant biodiversity at risk due to threats, so conservation is important.
Biodiversity refers to the variety of living organisms from different sources like terrestrial and marine ecosystems. It exists at genetic, species, and ecosystem levels. Biodiversity is important for consumptive uses like medicine, food, and fuel. It also has productive uses in commercial products, social and ethical values in culture and religion, and aesthetic and optional values. Conservation efforts aim to protect biodiversity in natural habitats through protected areas and national parks (in-situ) as well as zoos, seed banks, and breeding programs (ex-situ). Loss of biodiversity threatens the stability of the biosphere and human survival.
Biodiversity contributes to human well-being by providing raw materials and health benefits. However, human actions often lead to irreversible losses of biodiversity at a rapidly increasing rate over the past 50 years. The main factors responsible are habitat destruction, invasive species, pollution, climate change, and overconsumption. Conserving biodiversity through measures like protecting endangered species and biodiversity hotspots is important because ecosystems provide essential services like water purification, crop pollination, and potential future medicines.
Agrodiversity is base for the survival of the life on the earth,MarkosKuma2

It defines agrobiodiversity as the variety of animals, plants and microorganisms that are used for food and agriculture. This includes crops, livestock and non-harvested species that support production systems. The document also discusses the importance of agrobiodiversity for ensuring food provision, maintaining ecosystem services and allowing adaptation. Sustainable agricultural practices that conserve agrobiodiversity are also outlined, including mixed farming, organic agriculture, integrated pest management and crop rotation.
This document discusses biodiversity and its importance. It notes that biodiversity is declining rapidly, with thousands of species going extinct each year. Biodiversity is essential for ecosystem functions like water and air purification. Conservation strategies include legislation, in-situ and ex-situ conservation efforts, recording indigenous knowledge, community participation, and international agreements. Local communities depend on biodiversity for their livelihoods and cultures. Overall biodiversity conservation is crucial for environmental health and human well-being.
Wildlife plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of our ecosystems. Each species, no matter how big or small, contributes to the intricate web of life.
Biodiversity conservation is important as the Earth is home to millions of plant and animal species. Biodiversity can be conserved through both in-situ and ex-situ methods. In-situ conservation involves protecting habitats and ecosystems within protected areas like national parks, sanctuaries, biosphere reserves, and sacred forests. Ex-situ conservation involves protecting species outside their natural habitats in facilities like seed banks, gene banks, tissue culture banks, zoos, and botanical gardens. With increasing threats from habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict, both in-situ and ex-situ conservation efforts are needed to prevent the extinction of endangered species and maintain Earth's biodiversity.
Threats to biodiversity and endangered animalsDeeksha Agrawal

2. Biodiversity as the flexibility among living
things from all sources and the ecological
complexes of which they are a member of
including differences within and between
species and between ecosystems. They also
perform an important role in keeping the
stability in the ecosystem.
3. Philippines, being a global biodiversity hotspot is
teeming with flora and fauna. This bountiful biodiversity
serves many purposes such as biological resources,
ecosystem services and, social benefits (Shah, 2014).
With a rich flora and fauna, we have an abundant
biological resource for foods, commercial merchandise,
and natural construction materials, even ingredients for
medicinal and pharmaceutical uses.
4. Moreover, rich flora accounts for climate
stability since plants freely absorb carbon
dioxide and produce oxygen. The social
benefits derived from biodiversity include
environmental research, recreation, and
tourism. To top it all, biodiversity boosts
our economy.
5. Economically important species or species
that have actual or potential value in trade or
utilization for commercial purposes are
valuable sources of income for people.
Rattan is a good example of an economically
important species that is primarily used for
the construction of furniture.
6. The value of species can be divided into
three categories:
1. Direct Economic Value
This term collectively refers to the utilization of biological
resources either for direct consumption or for commercial
purposes. Cutting bamboo poles from the forest is a good
example of direct economic value for direct consumption
as material for native furniture or bamboo huts and
cottages. Meanwhile, medicines that are developed from
plant or animal extract are examples of direct economic
value for commercial purposes.
7. 2. Indirect Economic Value
There are benefits produced by species
even without us using them. For example,
certain plant species maintain the chemical
quality of natural water bodies, prevent soil
erosion and floods, cycle minerals in the soil,
and absorb pollutants. Several animals also
play many roles in the ecosystem. The
following are some roles of species in the
ecosystem:
8. •Bees are important pollinators to most
crops. In addition to their ecological niche.
They are also a food source to predators
like birds, spiders, lizards, and other
animals.
•Spiders and lizards are natural biocontrols
against mosquitoes and other insects.
•Ants aid in rebuilding soil nutrients,
enhance soil structure, permit water and
air to pass through the soil easily, sustain
energy, and improve biodiversity.
9. •Earthworms turn and fertilize the soil,
allowing water and oxygen to reach plant
roots. They eat a wide variety of organic
materials and provide food for many
different organisms.
•Bats are one of the pollinators of the
durian flower which blooms only at night.
•Frogs regulate the insect population. To
keep things in balance, they use lots of
survival tools. Some run away and play
dead.
10. 3. Aesthetic Value
The aesthetic value of species refers to the feeling
of pleasure derived from the appreciation of high
biodiversity in a certain area. These include a
panoramic view of tropical forests or species
diversity of plants and animals that lead to
recreation and tourism.
Among the well-known places in the Philippines
appreciated for high biodiversity are: Tubbataha
Reef in Sulo Sea, Sumilon Island in South-
Eastern Cebu, Eden Farm in Davao, and Initao
National Park in Misamis Oriental, Mindanao.
11. Stability in Ecosystem
A stable ecosystem is necessary to sustain its population
across generations. It is where situations are held constant
by negative response systems working within the ecosystem.
The following are the principles of ecosystem stability:
• Ecosystems dispose of waste and replenish nutrients by
recycling all elements;
• Ecosystems use sunlight as the source of energy;
• The size of a consumer population is maintained such that
overgrazing and other forms of overuse do not occur; and
• Biodiversity is maintained.
12. Benefits of High Biodiversity in Preserving
the Balance of an Ecosystem
High biodiversity helps maintain the stability of
ecosystem and boosts its productivity. A bigger number of
plant species indicates a higher diversity of crops; higher
species diversity ascertains natural continuity for all living
organisms, and healthy ecosystems can better withstand
and recover from a variety of disasters. Healthy
biodiversity provides several ecosystem services:
protection of water resources, soil formation and
protection, nutrient storage and recycling, pollution
breakdown and absorption, contribution to climate
stability and maintenance of ecosystems.
13. Threats to Biodiversity
Humans are showered with the numerous
benefits obtained from high species
biodiversity. However, their anthropogenic
activities have become threats to biodiversity
due to destruction or loss of habitat; such as
when humans resort to kaingin to clear forest
for farming.
14. Furthermore, humans cause biological pollution
when they intentionally or accidentally introduce
alien species that compete with the native species,
thus becoming an invasive species threatening
shifts in biodiversity. An example of this biological
pollution is the introduction of Rhinella marina or
canetoad to combat insect pests in sugar cane
plantations. However, it becomes a problem as it
eats other smaller animals in competition with the
less superior native amphibian the Limnonectes
magnus or bakbak.
15. Illegal logging, indiscriminate mining, and
poaching are also examples of how human
overexploits biodiversity leading to a major
decrease of flora and fauna population thus
endangering species up to the brink of
extinction.

17. Endangered species refers to species or
subspecies that are not critically endangered
but whose survival in the wild is unlikely to
thrive if unwanted human factors continue
operating.
18. Critically endangered species refers to a species or
subspecies that are facing an extremely high risk of
extinction in the wild in the immediate future, such as
the avian species Philippine Eagle shown in Figure 1.
To determine whether any wildlife species/subspecies
is threatened, the following internationally accepted
criteria have been used:
• present or threatened destruction;
• adjustment or restriction of its habitat and range;
• over-consumption for commercial, entertainment or
leisure, scientific, or scholastic intentions;
• inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanism; and
• other natural or manmade factors affecting the existence
of wildlife
19. Endemic species means species or subspecies which
is naturally thriving and seen only within a specific place
in the country. These are the Golden-crowned flying fox,
Negros naked-backed fruit bat, Philippine tube-nosed
fruit bat, Panay bushy-tailed cloud rat, Ilin hairy-tailed
cloud rat, Visayan warty pig, Calamian hog deer,
Visayan spotted deer, and tamaraw (See figure 2).

21. Protection and Conservation
Measures
To address the biodiversity concerns, the Philippines has issued
Republic Act No. 9147 also known as the “Wildlife Resources
Conservation and Protection Act”. It is an act providing for the
conservation and protection of wildlife resources and their
habitats to promote ecological balance and enhance biological
diversity. Under this act, the provision shall be enforceable for all
wildlife species found in all areas of the country, including
protected areas under RA 7586 and critical habitats. This act
shall also apply to exotic species which are traded, cultured,
maintained, and/or bred in captivity or propagated in the country.
22. Critical habitats were designated outside
protected areas and were subjected to stringent
protection from any form of exploitation or
destruction which may be detrimental to the
survival of threatened species dependent therein
imposing penalties over violation of this act.
23. Center of Plant Diversity was also established to
protect and preserve endemic plant species. Mt.
Kitanglad in Bukidnon, Mt. Apo in Davao, and
Agusan Marsh in Agusan del Sur are examples of
the established center of plant diversity in
Mindanao.
24. Identification of research sites is also another initiative to
promote protection and conservation of wildlife, an example of
which sites in Mindanao are Mt. Kitanglad Range in Bukidnon
and Camiguin islands. In addition, the government has launched
the National Greening Program to mitigate deforestation by
funding and providing local farmers with economically important
plant species such as cacao, falcate, and fruit trees.
