    WORLD SCENARIO

     Approximately 1.9 million species have been


    identified.
    Scientists have estimated the total number of
    species on Earth to be around 15 million .
    The rate of extinction has been estimated 1
    species per million.
    Changes in biodiversity

    • Humans inhabiting the forest may disturb the


    natural order of life.
    Changes in biodiversity

    Trees and plants would be cut down where


    the houses would be built.
    Changes in biodiversity
    The organisms present in the area would most
    likely be killed or displaced.

    Consequences of biodiversity
    loss
    By: Benilda B. Baclayo
    • Even with the improvement of technology and science at
    present, we still have a lot to learn about biodiversity.
    • Intact ecosystems function best since the organisms
    composing them are specialized to function in that ecosystem
    to capture, transfer, utilize and ultimately, lose both energy
    and nutrients.
    • the particular species making up an ecosystem determine its
    productivity, affect nutrient cycles and soil contents, and
    influence environmental condition such us water cycles and
    weather patterns, climate, and other nonbiotic aspects.
    Nutritional impact of
    biodiversity
     Biodiversity is a vital element of a human being’s nutrition because of its
    influence of food production. Biodiversity is a major factor that contributes
    to sustainable food production for human being.
     Nutrition and biodiversity are linked at many level: the ecosystem, with
    food production as an ecosystem service; the species in the ecosystem; and
    the genetic diversity within species.
     Nutritional composition between food and among
    varieties/cultivars/breeds of the same food can differ dramatically, affecting
    micronutrient availability in the diet.
