to mislead people (Lomborg‚ 2001). There are two prominent claims among all the others which the sceptics base their arguments on: the self-balance of the amount of water through global warming and clean water shortage; and the self-recovery in biodiversity and natural resources. This paper seeks to disprove these claims‚ in order to show that environmentalists are not overstating their case. Self-balance in global water availability: global warming and water shortage Self-balance is defined as

Biodiversity & Conservation Biodiversity and conservation aims to establish the multiple values that biodiversity can provide‚ specifically in nations rich in biodiversity. Conservation is a way forward to develop in environmentally friendly manner and it works on basic concepts of ecosystem resilience and sustainable use. There is a need to strengthen the capacity of marginalized biodiversity managers (for example‚ local and indigenous communities and traditional farmers) to influence policy

Due to the risks of introducing a new species‚ it is necessary to preserve our biodiversity. When a non-native species becomes invasive‚ the species disrupts the process of evolution and growth of the country’s biodiversity. For example‚ the feral pigs in Hawaii ate plenty of native plants that could’ve evolved into species that could’ve been used in medicine or in hygiene products. Biodiversity is always changing through evolution. This process happens naturally on its own. When a new

The protection of species is an important element to the survival of biodiversity as well as human sustainability. The loss of a species means humans will lose out on the benefits that nature provides: medical breakthroughs‚ recreations‚ agriculture‚ and ecological values‚ commercial and economical sustainability.
