    The document discusses two long term impacts of loss of biodiversity. First, loss of biodiversity may limit discoveries of potential treatments for diseases and health problems as medical discoveries are often made by understanding biodiversity. Second, loss of biodiversity could impact human nutrition as biodiversity plays a crucial role in world food production, and without a variety of nutritious foods it affects human health.

    STS MODULE 11 (ACTIVITY #1)

    Critical Thinking Question:

    What will the loss in biodiversity cost us in the long run? Discuss at least two long term impacts.

    Here are two long term effects of we lose our biodiversity:

    1. Human Health. Significant medical and pharmacological discoveries are made through greater
    understanding of the earth’s biodiversity. Loss in biodiversity may limit discovery of potential
    treatments for many diseases and health problems. Biodiversity changes affect ecosystem
    functioning and significant disruptions of ecosystems can result in life sustaining ecosystem
    goods and services.
    2. Nutrition. Biodiversity plays a crucial role in human nutrition through its influence on world food
    production. If we lose biodiversity, we will have no more access to a sufficiency of a nutritious
    variety of food as a fundamental determinant of health.
