Consequences of diseases in biodiversity 1. All species are interconnected. They depend on one another. Bees and other insects carry pollen from one plant to another‚ which enables the plants to reproduce. If there is less biodiversity‚ there might be extinction of animal‚ and if bees become extinct ‚ there will be a problem for plants to reproduce. 2. With the loss of biodiversity the transmission of diseases increases .Thus biodiversity

two of the four most critical global environmental issues (Biodiversity‚ 1999). As can be seen‚ companies who destroy the ecosystem for economic gain are creating irreversible problems that future laws cannot correct. To prevent further problems from occurring we must maintain all biodiversity laws. The basis of the laws are to protect all life‚ including all human life; and are crucial for present and future generations (Biodiversity‚ 1999). The federal government has taken charge of this situation
