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

Mutualism Mutualism is a biological interaction between two organisms. Most mutualisms are facultative‚ meaning the partners can successfully live apart. However‚ some mutualisms are so intimate that the interacting species can no longer live without each other; they have a mutually obligate interdependence. Examples: As the bee or butterfly sips

been projected to exist (Becher‚ 1998‚ 60). Tropical entomologist Terry Erwin’s research supports that there may be as many as 30 million insect species alone in the tropical rainforests (Shiva et al‚ 1991‚ 14). One of the true challenges to biodiversity is that there are so many species that we may be obliterating that we are not even aware exist yet. We are destroying species faster than we can identify them. Extinction and evolution are a normal part of the life cycle on Earth. Of all

Tourism and biodiversity are closely intertwined. Millions of people travel each year to experience nature’s splendour. The income generated by sustainable tourism can provide important support for nature conservation‚ as well as for economic development. Furthermore‚ sustainable tourism can help to raise awareness among tourists and local communities of the importance of biodiversity to our everyday lives. Through initiatives such as its “Sustainable Tourism – Eliminating Poverty” project‚ and

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

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
