Loss of biodiversity

1. LOSS OF BIODIVERSITY

2.

Biodiversity is defined as the set of all living organisms and species on land and
all natural things around them such as: oceans, rivers, mountains, deserts,
land, forests, jungles, animals, plants, atmosphere, heaven and humans.
Climate change: climate change is affecting biodiversity so that this becomes a
major threat to biodiversity in the coming decades. Since this originated
Although throughout the history of the Earth climate has always changed with
the ecosystems and species that came and went, rapid climate change affects
ecosystems and the ability of species to adapt and thus increases the loss of
biodiversity. While the loss of biodiversity increases the life of humans at risk
enters e.g. climate change can dry the water taking into account global
warming, and if no water, no human, this would also affect plants as without
water, photosynthesis cannot be performed, also with animals and plants not
animals without human life disappears. So if biodiversity has this enormous
threat we are under this threat also already there are evidence of how species
are responding to global warming.

3. Why biodiversity is important?

Life has been able to adapt to the most diverse places on earth, from
microscopic creatures that habit in the icy landscapes of the poles to creatures
that live in warmer places, since the birds that fly at high altitudes than fish
living in depths of the ocean, our planet is full of living organisms. All of them
are part of the history of the world in the last 3.5 billion years, which means
since the onset of the first cell. Just the study of early life forms, has allowed us
to see how they have evolved from the simplest of bacteria to the most
complex. And even though we all know that in reality we are only able to identify
with a name 10 percent of them, the remaining 90 percent are still a mystery to
humans.

4. Climate change linked to human activity

In the world, human activities have caused and will continue causing wear on
biodiversity due to, among other things, changes in use and surface soil,
pollution and land degradation and air pollution; the diversion of water into
heavily altered ecosystems and urbanization’s, environmental decay,
exploitation of species, introduction of alien species, ozone depletion and
weather. The current rate of biodiversity loss is greater than the natural
extinction. A fundamental question is how much can change (either natural or
human-induced) increase or prevent such loss of biodiversity? The changes in
climate create a secondary alteration to biodiversity that has begun affecting it.
Atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases have increased since
preindustrial times due to human activities, particularly fossil fuels and changes
in use and on the surface of the soil.

5. Loss of species by climate change

The extinction of species increases the biodiversity loss, and with them our
existence. For example: bees are disappearing, disappear. The consequences
are disastrous this can cause the pollination is what has made it possible for
millions of years, to ensure the reproduction from the plant to flower. In addition,
35% of our diet depends on pollination: fruit and vegetables. The most famous
food recommended by dieticians. Moreover, in certain regions of the world, the
disappearance of pollinating insects forces from Polish farmers to pollinate by
hand. Researchers and beekeepers are moving in different scenarios, it has not
yet been clearly identified the main cause of the extinction of bees. All
pressures on the ecosystem and the health of bees have been revised: GMOs,
electromagnetic waves, pesticides, pollution, climate change, scarcity of
flowers, viruses, diseases, parasites.

6. Conclusion

As I explained earlier biodiversity plays a very important in us as this is vital for
human life, and this is being eroded by many factors, but here in this project.
Mainly I just said the climate change, we cause rapid climate change which
becomes a threat to biodiversity, bone for us, but we can do something to
prevent it? Yes, there are many things you can do to help or participate in
improving the current condition of the Earth and future conditions are:
Improving the efficiency of cars. Be achieved through better technology,
lightening the structure, improvements in engines and transmission, reducing
aerodynamic drag, decreasing resistance of the wheels, etc. Accelerate
improvements in energy efficiency of industries, residences and commercial
establishments and public, through effective policies. Stimulate and accelerate
research and development of technologies based on energy sources of
renewable energy. Ending deforestation and encourage reforestation
