Introduction Biodiversity also known as biological diversity is the existence of a wide variety of species (species diversity) or other taxa of plants‚ animals‚ and micro organisms in a natural community or habitat‚ or of communities within a particular environment (ecological diversity) or of a genetic variation within a specie (genetic diversity). (Oxford dictionary of biology). The root of concern for conserving biodiversity are increased loss of species‚ increased rates of deforestation and

As shown by the title‚ our earth’s biodiversity is at crisis. But some may wonder‚ what is biodiversity? Wikipedia tells us that biodiversity is the variation of life forms within a given ecosystem‚ biome‚ or on the entire Earth. Interesting enough‚ my science teacher was starting on the Biodiversity chapter when I spotted this poster. We learnt about the classification of species using their common characteristics‚ but I realize that there are always exceptions. For instance‚ we know that mammals

Conservation of Biodiversity One of the most pressing environmental issues today is the conservation of biodiversity. Many factors threaten the world’s biological heritage. The challenge is for nations‚ government agencies‚ organisations and individuals to protect and enhance biological diversity‚ while continuing to meet people’s needs for natural resources. Biodiversity is the existence of a large number of different kinds of animals and plants which make a balanced environment. Biodiversity is the result

BIODIVERSITY AND EXTINCTION Biodiversity is determined by the variety of species extant in a specific ecosystem; this includes both animals and plants. Biodiversity is what gives an ecosystem a continuing and symbiotic relationship between all the organic and inorganic elements; maintaining the proper balance of different gases such as nitrogen‚ oxygen‚ hydrogen‚ carbon dioxide and many other elements‚ which differ in composition depending on the type of environment (such as subterranean‚ aquatic

our natural heritage and developing our land for practical uses increases substantially. In an effort to examine whether our natural heritage is still worth preserving in the face of competing land uses‚ this essay analyzes the benefits that our biodiversity continues to provide us with in modern society. Throughout this analysis‚ relevant examples are drawn from published studies‚ as well as practices of organizations / individuals from other countries. Today‚ the primary forests in Singapore are

Is Biodiversity Overprotected? What does biodiversity mean? It is a word used to describe the variety of all life in an ecosystem in addition to the specific habitats and communities in which they live (Convention on Biological Diversity). For years‚ people have been going back and forth on whether the environment is overprotected or underprotected. I believe that both sides of the debate go to unnecessary extremes‚ but agree with those who say that biodiversity is underprotected. The movement
