Definition of Terms Status of Biodiversity Relationship of Biodiversity
Types of Biodiversity
In the Country and Healthy Society
What is Biodiversity?
“Bio” means life or living organism. “Diversity” means understanding that each individual is unique, and
recognizing our individual differences. The term biodiversity (from “biological diversity”) refers to the variety of life
on Earth at all its levels, from genes to ecosystems, and can encompass the evolutionary, ecological, and cultural
processes that sustain life.
What is Ecosystem?
A community of living organisms in conjunction with the non-living components of their
environment, interacting as a system. It includes relationship in a habitat between the
living organism as well as the non-living things in an environment.
What is a Healthy Society?

A healthy society enables its members collectively and individually to benefit in ways
that would not otherwise be possible; both individual and social (common) benefits
can be identified.

“At least 40 per cent of the world’s economy and 80 per

cent of the needs of the poor are derived from biological
resources. In addition, the richer the diversity of life, the
greater the opportunity for medical discoveries,
economic development, and adaptive responses to such
new challenges as climate change.”

Biodiversity invigorates our tourism industry

and allows us to host a vast array of adventure,
ecotourism and wilderness experiences. The
economic value of biodiversity in the form of
natural resources is easy to measure since its
biomass is directly used in commerce.
However, the value of biodiversity associated
with maintaining these natural resources is
ECONOMIC much more difficult to assess.
VALUES
Tab 02 X +

GROUP V
Medicine relies on biodiversity since most

pharmaceutical drugs are derived either
directly or indirectly from wild species, mainly
plants. However, only about 2 percent of the
flowering plants in the world have been
studied for their potential pharmacological
properties. New discoveries, often in
MEDICAL & unexpected areas, are ongoing.
SCIENTIFIC
BENEFITS
Tab 02 X +

GROUP V
The most difficult value of biodiversity to

measure is its aesthetic beauty and cultural
heritage. Individuals and groups use their own
measuring stick to assess these values. Some
idealize it, and some define themselves in part
by it.

Number of species created by Much of human action alters the species
evolutionary processes occurs at a much composition and the relative species
slower pace than the recent extinction abundances in an ecosystem, changing the
rates, resulting to recent global species structure of communities, but may not lead
extinctions (correspond to biodiversity to biodiversity loss at the regional or global
loss) scale
“Large alterations in abundance and trophic

structure may cause net biodiversity loss”

1. Fire and Hunting

-first actions of humans with large-
scale impacts on biodiversity
Hunting- likely to have driven the first
wave of species extinctions induced by
humans starting 50,000 years BP

2. Development of Agriculture
• Crop Domestication
• Animal Domestication
• bring major ecosystem changes with the deforestation of
large areas, changes in fire regime
3. Expansion of global trade via maritime routes
• Between AD 1500 and 1800, all documented extinctions
occurred on islands

GROUP V
1. Species Extinctions and Extinction Risk
“Habitat loss seems therefore to be playing a much larger role in very recent extinctions
than in previous centuries, and disease is emerging as a new threat”
2. Changes in Species Abundances and Community Structure
• The LPI has declined from 1970 to 2006 by 31%
• The WBI for habitat specialists has declined from 1980 to 2007 by 2.6%
• The European Common Farmland Bird Indicator declined from 1980 to 2006
by 49%
• European Butterfly Indicator for Grassland Species declined from 1990 to
2009 by 70%
Tab 04 X +

GROUP V
3. Shifts in the Distribution of Species and Communities
Climate change and other ecosystem change drivers may cause alterations in species distributions The
alteration of a species distribution can be decomposed into two major aspects: directional shifts in the
distribution and changes in the size of the distribution
• Directional shifts
-have been measured using species distribution centroids (3) or range limits (85).
• Changes in the size of the species distribution
-are likely to be correlated with overall changes in species abundance
Tab 04 X +

GROUP V
4. Genetic Diversity in Domesticated and Wild Species

Studies of loss of genetic diversity can be classified into two categories: studies of genetic diversity of
domesticated species and studies of genetic diversity of wild species. Studies of domesticated species can
further be divided into plant genetic resources (95) and animal genetic resources (96).
In a rare longitudinal study, Lage & Kornfield (104) looked at the genetic
diversity in a population of the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) using
samples from 1963 to 2001. They found that genetic diversity declined
during this period, closely following population declines.

Government
Policies
Purchase products that are made with recycled materials. Plastic,

paper, wood, and metal can all be recycled, so start there to make
a difference. On the other side of the coin, recycle as much as you
can. Campaign for recycling programs in your area. Make
recycling cool again.

Low to no-emission vehicles have much less of an impact on

the environment. If buying a new car isn't an option, try
carpooling, public transportation, riding a bike or walking
where you can.

GROUP V
Government
Policies
Take the time to clean up animal habitats, like beaches,

forests, and other undeveloped areas. Make your area
welcoming for wildlife. Birdhouses, bat houses, and other
housing can be great, as can planting local flora and turning
your backyard into your own personal wildlife sanctuary.

There are probably plenty of organizations in your area

that are working toward a greener tomorrow. You just
have to look for them. Volunteer your time and help

If you've got a big development company moving into

stand up to prevent this.
