Base on the study of Chivian‚ E. (2002) Biodiversity plays very important role in human nutrition through its influence on world food production. All of the plants products that operated by human either directly or indirectly‚ were came originally from wild ancestors. And also those animals that domesticated by human. Domesticated animals and plants were selected and bred for their desirable traits‚ but because of the environmental circumstances and those stress change‚ as the requirements and preference

BIODIVERSITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL GOVERNANCE: ROLE OF MASS MEDIA UNIYAL‚ SHALINI. M.K.P.P.G. COLLEGE‚ DEHRADUN As we celebrate 2010 as the International Year of Biodiversity‚ a sad realization dawns that even amongst the educated the term biodiversity suffers from a lack of absolute clarity. Biodiversity is the degree of variation of life forms within a given ecosystem or an entire planet. It is a measure of the health of biological systems Industrialization has caused a major dent in biodiversity

I HOLD THE FUTURE: PRESERVING THE PHILIPPINES BIODIVERSITY The sum of all the different species of animals‚ plants‚ fungi‚ and microbial organisms living on Earth and the variety of habitats in which they live is called Biological Diversity or also known as the Biodiversity. Scientists estimate that upwards of 10 million—and some suggest more than 100 million—different species inhabit the Earth. Each species is adapted to its unique niche in the environment‚ from the peaks of mountains to the depths

I hold the future because I am armed with the principles to preserve our Philippine Biodiversity. Being responsible will be one of my major principles proven in all aspects we see. Our daily activities like “not segregating garbage” and “Irresponsible throwing of garbage” greatly affects the ecosystem that it causes major extinctions of different species or more like near extinctions of these poor creatures. Biodiversity’s relevance to human’s health is an issue closely linked with climate change

et al.‚ 2009). The biodiversity of earthworms is influenced by physical‚ chemical and biological properties of soil and climatic conditions of habitats. Earthworm’s biodiversity is directly affected by soil characteristics (Edwards and Lofty‚ 1977). These community influencing factors are soil pH‚ organic matter‚ nitrogen‚ C/N ratio‚ soil moisture and soil texture. Biodiversity is counted as human resources (Heywood‚ 1996). Recently‚ many biologists studied the biodiversity and distribution of earthworms

of climate change on biodiversity in Northern Canada Climate change‚ as a change in weather like global warming‚ has attracted the attention of the public. The issue of climate change has been becoming a global focus of attention for people around the world. Most scientists think that climate change is primarily caused by human activities. Temperature and precipitation shifts directly affect biota‚ and scientists think that as the climate continues to change‚ the biodiversity in Northern Canada

Laboratory was conducted to measure heavy metal contents of water‚ including lead and cadmium. Biodiversity assessments were done on identification and density of mangroves and the identification of fauna thriving along the river. After interventions‚ reassessment was conducted to determine changes in sources‚ measure‚ responses‚ and public-private sector participation‚ including water analyses and biodiversity assessment. Correlation of variables was computed‚ including the initial assessment and reassessment
