OBJECTIVES:
1. Identify the causes of extinction and explain how it is done.
2. Determine the pattern of population distribution using
mathematical formula.
3. Compare the distribution patterns of the different
populations.
4. Read selections about phenomena that are related to
biodiversity and define the words that will be cited as to how
they were used in the selection.
5.Write a reflection paper about the video on protecting
biodiversity.

WHAT CAN
BE DONE?
BIODIVERSITY LOSS
Every species are important!
BIODIVERSITY LOSS
But their homes are wrecked, leading
them to deaths.
BIODIVERSITY LOSS
What can people do
to protect
biodiversity?
BIODIVERSITY LOSS
1. PROTECTING AREAS
Creating protected areas where human activity is
limited is the best way to prevent deforestation
and exploitation of organisms and the resources
they need to survive.
2, PREVENTING SPECIES INTRODUCTION
It is often much easier and less expensive to
prevent a problem from developing in the first
place than to try to fix it once it occurs!
BIODIVERSITY LOSS
3. INFORMING/ EDUCATING
Education is a powerful tool, and the more
people know about biodiversity loss, the more
they will be prepared to help slow it.
4. SLOWING CLIMATE CHANGE
Any efforts as individuals, organizations, or
governments, to slow current human-caused
global warming is a step towards slowing
biodiversity loss.

5. PROMOTTING SUSTAINABILITY
