    This document discusses biodiversity and its relationship to healthy ecosystems and societies. It begins by defining biodiversity and describing the three types: genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity. It then explains how changes in biodiversity impact ecosystems and discusses some key threats to biodiversity like habitat loss, pollution, overexploitation, invasive species, and climate change. Finally, it outlines some consequences of biodiversity loss, such as impacts on ecosystem stability, accelerated species extinction, increased disease transmission, and threats to food security and medicine.

    BIODIVERSITY
    AND
    ECOSYSTEM
    BIODIVERSITY Biological diversity or
    Biodiversity is a term used
    to describe the enormous
    variety of life on Earth
    and can be used more
    specifically to refer to
    all of the species in one
    region or ecosystem. It
    refers to every living
    thing, including plants,
    bacteria, animals, and
    humans.
    BIODIVERSITY
    IMPORTANCE OF THE BIODIVERSITY
    Biodiversity is essential for
    the processes that support
    all life on Earth, including
    humans. Without a wide range
    of animals, plants and
    microorganisms, we cannot
    have the healthy ecosystems
    that we rely on to provide us
    with the air we breathe and
    the food we eat. And people
    also value nature of itself.
    THREE TYPES OF
    BIODIVERSITY
    Biodiversity is
    commonly broken down
    into three levels or
    types: genetic
    diversity, species
    diversity, and
    ecosystem diversity.
    THREE TYPES OF BIODIVERSITY
    1.Genetic Diversity-

    Genetic diversity refers to the diversity


    of the gene pool of a given species, or
    diversity at the DNA level. Genetic
    diversity can be inferred from what an
    animal looks like, but is more accurately
    determined through direct assessments of a
    species' DNA.
    THREE TYPES OF BIODIVERSITY
    2. Species Diversity-

    Species diversity is not only based


    on the number of different species
    present in a community, but also
    the relative abundance of each
    species and the role they have in
    the community.
    THREE TYPES OF BIODIVERSITY

    3. Ecosystem Diversity-

    Ecosystem diversity refers to variability


    in habitats within a geographic area.
    Unlike genetic diversity and species
    diversity, ecosystem diversity considers
    both biological drivers and non-
    biological drivers of variability, like
    temperature and sunlight.
    ECOSYSTEM
    An ecosystem is a geographic
    area where plants, animals,
    and other organisms, as well
    as weather and landscape,
    work together to form a
    bubble of life. Ecosystems
    contain biotic or living,
    parts, as well as abiotic
    factors, or nonliving parts.
    TWO TYPES OF
    ECOSYSTEM
    1. TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEM

    2. AQUATIC ECOSYSTEM
    TWO TYPES OF ECOSYSTEM
    1. TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEM
    It is found in every place except water-
    bodies. Terrestrial ecosystems are
    distinguished from aquatic ecosystems by

    - the lower availability of water


    - greater temperature fluctuations on
    both a diurnal and seasonal basis
    - The availability of light is greater in
    terrestrial ecosystems than in aquatic
    ecosystems because the atmosphere is more
    transparent than water.
    - Gases are more available in terrestrial
    ecosystems than in aquatic ecosystems.
    TWO TYPES OF ECOSYSTEM
    2. AQUATIC ECOSYSTEM
    An aquatic ecosystem
    is an ecosystem in a body of
    water. Communities of organisms
    that are dependent on each other
    and on their environment live in
    aquatic ecosystems. .
    The 2 main types of aquatic
    ecosystems are marine ecosystem
    & freshwater ecosystem.
    What is the
    relationship between
    biodiversity and the
    ecosystem?
    Greater biodiversity
    in ecosystems,
    species, and
    individuals leads to
    greater stability.

    CHANGES IN
    BIODIVERSITY
    CHANGES IN BIODIVERSITY
    - Changes in
    biodiversity alter
    ecosystem processes
    and change the
    resilience of
    ecosystems to
    environmental change
    CHANGES IN BIODIVERSITY
    Biodiversity is affected by
    many Earth system processes
    and phenomena, including:

    Evolutionary processes,
    Extinction, Species Interaction,
    Climate Conditions, Nutrients,
    Numerous other abiotic
    environmental factors, Extreme
    Weather and Volcanic Eruption
    CLOUD RAT
    CHANGES IN BIODIVERSITY
    Humans have affected
    biodiversity through a
    variety of activities,
    including:
    Deforestation, habitat
    destruction, and urbanization,
    Agricultural activities, Fishing
    and Hunting, Pollutants and waste,
    and activities that cause global
    warming
    DEFORESTATION
    HABITAT DESTRUCTION
    AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES
    FISHING AND HUNTING
    POLLUTANTS & WASTE

    THREATS IN
    BIODIVERSITY
    THREATS IN
    BIODIVERSITY
    The five main
    threats to
    biodiversity are
    habitat loss,
    pollution,
    overexploitation,
    invasive species,
    and climate change.
    THREATS IN
    BIODIVERSITY
    Habitat loss has significant,
    consistently negative effects on
    biodiversity. Habitat loss
    negatively influences biodiversity
    directly through its impact on
    species abundance, genetic
    diversity, species richness,
    species distribution, and also
    indirectly.
    THREATS IN
    BIODIVERSITY
    All forms of pollution pose a
    serious threat to biodiversity,
    but in particular nutrient
    loading, primarily of nitrogen and
    phosphorus, which is a major and
    increasing cause of biodiversity
    loss and ecosystem dysfunction.
    THREATS IN
    BIODIVERSITY
    The unsustainable use of natural
    resources and overexploitation,
    which occurs when harvesting
    exceeds reproduction of wild
    plant and animal species,
    continues to be a major threat to
    biodiversity.
    THREATS IN
    BIODIVERSITY
    Invasive species are animals, plants,
    fungi and microorganisms entered and
    established in the environment from
    outside of their natural habitat. They
    reproduce rapidly, out-compete native
    species for food, water and space, and
    are one of the main causes of global
    biodiversity loss.
    THREATS IN
    BIODIVERSITY
    Climate change is playing an
    increasingly important role in
    the decline of biodiversity.
    Climate change has altered
    marine, terrestrial, and
    freshwater ecosystems around
    the world.

    CONSEQUENCES OF
    BIODIVERSITY
    LOSS
    CONSEQUENCES OF
    BIODIVERSITY LOSS
    1.Impacts on Ecosystem Stability and Services
    2.Accelerated Extinction of Species
    3.Increased Zoonotic Disease Transmission to
    Humans
    4. More Conflict Between Humans and Wildlife
    5. Threatened Food Security and Medicinal
    Resources
    CONSEQUENCES OF
    BIODIVERSITY LOSS
    1.Impacts on Ecosystem Stability and Services

    A 2015 Science article indicates that “a


    given decrease in plant species numbers led
    to a quantitatively similar decrease in
    ecosystem stability regardless of which
    driver caused the biodiversity loss.
    CONSEQUENCES OF
    BIODIVERSITY LOSS
    2. Accelerated Extinction of Species

    Species numbers continue to disappear


    because of anthropogenic climate change,
    habitat destruction, overexploitation and
    over-harvest, pollution, and introduction of
    invasive species.
    CONSEQUENCES OF
    BIODIVERSITY LOSS
    3. Increased Zoonotic Disease
    Transmission to Humans

    A zoonotic disease, or zoonosis, is an


    infectious disease in humans that originates
    from pathogen transmission via non-human
    animals. These pathogens (viruses, bacteria,
    parasites, prions, etc.) are contracted in
    many ways.
    CONSEQUENCES OF
    BIODIVERSITY LOSS
    4. More Conflict Between Humans and Wildlife
    Related to the last point, human-wildlife
    conflict is any negative interaction between
    people and wild animals. It covers crop and
    property damage, physical injury, and even
    loss of human life.
    CONSEQUENCES OF BIODIVERSITY
    LOSS
    5. Threatened Food Security and Medicinal
    Resources
    Food security will be hard to hit if
    unsustainable agricultural and farming
    practices continue. Moreover, for millennial
    people have turned to nature for medicinal
    resources. The current rates of biodiversity
    loss impact not just traditional medicine, but
    modern pharmaceuticals and drug innovations,
    too.
