Group2 Biodiversity Part1

The document discusses the importance of biodiversity, defining it as the variety of life in ecosystems and highlighting its essential role in providing biological resources, climate regulation, and ecosystem stability. It identifies three types of biodiversity: genetic, species, and ecological diversity, each contributing to the health of the environment and society. The document emphasizes the vulnerability of biodiversity to exploitation and the need for proper utilization of science and technology to mitigate adverse effects on society.

and a
Healthy Society
A. Importance of biodiversity

B. Adverse effects of resource


depletion on society
C. Measures to mitigate them
BIODIVERSITY
- Biological (life) + Diversity (variety)
- Variety of life present in an Ecosystem.
ECOSYSTEM
Is a geographic area where plants, animals and other
organism, as well as weather and landscape, work
together to form a bubble life.
An ecosystem contains living factors and non-living
factors (rocks, temperature and humidity)
ECOSYSTEM

Every part of the


ecosystem depends on
every other part, whether
directly or indirectly.
IMPORTANCE OF BIODIVERSITY
- As a source of biological resources

Food, Medicines and Climate regulation Pollination and clean Stability and a Healthy
other resources water Ecosystem

Biodiversity is essential for a healthy environment and ecosystem.


THREE (3) different types of
BIODIVERSITY
1. GENETIC BIODIVERSITY
- Variations among organisms of the same species.

- “GENETIC” – related traits/characteristics passed from


parent to offspring.
- Total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic
makeup of a species.

BIODIVERSITY

BIODIVERSITY
2. SPECIES DIVERSITY
- Variety of species within a particular region. Influenced by the
environmental conditions in the region.

Species are the normal measures of biodiversity for these are the
basic units of biological classification.

Species richness is either a count of the number of, or the list of,
species inhabiting a given area or habitat.

BIODIVERSITY
3. ECOLOGICAL DIVERSITY
- Network of different species in an ecosystem and the interaction
of these species. “Maintain the balance of nature”
- The variations of climatic and altitudinal conditions along with
varied ecological habitats are the reasons for the richness in
biodiversity of a particular region on earth.
a. Climate (hot, cold, rainy, dry, etc.)
b. Altitude (lowlands, mountains, valleys)
c. Types of ecosystem (like forest, oceans, rivers, deserts)
desert river

DIVERSITY

forest
- Society benefits greatly from the richness of biodiversity.
- Biological resources (food, medicine, energy and more)
- Biodiversity in natural ecosystem – (climate, food, pollination,
water and air quality, water storage, decomposition of waste and
among others)
- Biodiversity is vulnerable to exploitation.

“Human is the standing reserve tool for this exploitation if the


essence of Science and Technology will not properly utilize”
