BIODIVERSITY

AND
HEALTHY SOCIETY
 Biodiversity
Bio- Life
Diversity-variety of differing elements

The different species on earth, the way they

interact in which they then come together
to benefit towards each other.

 INDTRODUCTION

-Biodiversity is like a safety net.

-Making animals and plants as its threads.
-The better the nature can provide, the less threats for
climate change.
-However, people disregard that safety and help for
decades.
-There is still the need to reverse the losses of nature.
 THE IMPACT OF BIODIVERSITY
ON HUMAN LIFE

Human species are one of the earths 1.9 million living life forms. We have
the same physical requirements we depend on our survival on its
successful interaction. But humans also differ from other species
because of our niche as thinking, planning and technological beings.
Human technologies have significant impacts on the natural world by
producing materials that pollute the air, water and soil. As a species, it is
essential that we understand the necessity of preserving the natural
environment.
 THE IMPACT OF BIODIVERSITY
ON HUMAN LIFE

While some progress has been made in correcting certain

environments problems, much remains to be done. Education,
environmental awareness, Governments, industries and the general
publics must come together with the long range impact of human
activity that destroys the very fabric of biological life on earth.
 HUMAN POPULATION GROWTH

Unlike all other species, human population has risen at a very rapid rate
over the past centuries.
Estimated Population

1950 1998 2010 2022

2.5 million 4.5 billion 5.5 billion 8 billion

 HUMAN POPULATION GROWTH

The development of medical technology has reduced the incidence of

disease in many parts of the world. Modern agriculture had reduced the
incidence of disease in many parts of the world. Modern agriculture had
reduced the likelihood starvation in developed nations. This rapid increase in
human population and technology that support the growth has put extreme
pressure on the natural world, threatening the survival of natural and
habitats. In many lists developed areas of the world, the human population
has grown faster than the food supply. Poverty and hunger in these areas
had led to the resurgence of disease that have been eradicated in the
world's develop nations.

 HUMAN POPULATION GROWTH

These same conditions have forced some people to abandon their homes in
search of food and to be exposed to the elements, further reducing their
ability to survive. Apparently, the human species is rapidly approaching a
point where it will be unable to sustain continued growth.

IMPACT OF HUMAN POPULATION GROWTH

Increasing the burning a fossil fuels for energy to generate
electricity, and to power transportation, and industrial
processes.

Increase in freshwater use for drinking, agriculture,

recreation, and industrial processes.

increasing ecological impact on environments. Forest and

other habitats are disturbed or destroyed the construct urban
area.
 POLLUTION AND DESTRUCTION IN
OUR ENVIRONMENT
Technological and industrial processes have led to the production of
chemicals and by-products that are harmful (toxic) to living things, such
toxic chemicals have contributed to our global environmental pollution.
Examples of pollutants include:
Acidic ions
Pesticides

Toxic Effects of Pollutants

Contaminated water
Make survival of natural species difficult or impossible
Humans can be subject to toxic effects

 POLLUTION AND DESTRUCTION IN

OUR ENVIRONMENT

Toxic Effects of Pollutants

This industrial byproducts such as dioxin pose similar dangerous to many
species, including humans.
The combining of acidic ions with atmospheric water has resulted in acid
precipitation (acid rain), which has acidified lakes and disrupted natural
ecosystems.

 DESTRUCTION OF HABITAT

Humans have used their technologies to remove trees and other plant life
from wide areas of their natural habitat for the purpose of creating
agricultural lands, industrial zones, roadways, or residential and commercial
developments. Humans have drained, filled, or redirected wetlands ponds,
streams and other natural water habitats for these same purposes.
Human agriculture has produced variety of negative effects due to intention
to its impact on the natural environment.

 DESTRUCTION OF HABITAT

Failure to use cover crops ( crops that protect soil from erosion) between
planting cycles has exposed bare soil for erosion.
Over cropping is the failure to allow soil to recover nutrients and organic
matter content between plantings.
Overgrazing is the practice of allowing large numbers of domestic
animals to graze an area too small to support them.

 EXPLOITATION OF ANIMALS AND PLANTS

Humans who have great desire to possess exotic animals and plants
or their products have been enabled by modern transportation,
communication, and economic technologies. This resulted in the
exploitation for exotic species of primates such as monkey, cats birts
such as parrots and other pets. Some animals are killed for yheor
horm, elephants for their tusks, and tiger an other species for their
pelts. Each exploited species is to one degree or another, in danger of
extinction because of this exploitation.
 EXPLOITATION OF ANIMALS AND PLANTS
In an activity known as direct harvesting, humans have removed
plants from the ecosystem for their economic value without regard fro
the effect of its removal on the natural ecosystem. Forest trees were
directly harvested from our mountain to provide lumber for building
purposes, and denuded in the process, allowing fragile soils to be
washed away. This activity resulted to destruction of entire mountain
habitats. Worldwide, direct harvesting activities for exotic hardwoods
in tropical rain forest has resulted in similar habitat destruction and
loss of biodiversity.

SIGNS OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION

Researchers suspect that toxic chemicals by-products, heavy
metals, pesticides, hormones, pharmaceuticals etc. leads to
deformation of illnesses, death of natural populations
worldwide

A dramatic decline and deformation in frog populations which

have been observed in aquatic ecosystems around the world,
the culprits suspected by scientists are home-disrupting
chemicals in agricultural runoff.

Reproductive cycle disruption in birds as a result of high

concentrations DDT and other pesticides.
SIGNS OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION
Deaths and population declines of birds and fish linked to
contamination from oil spills.

Deaths and disorientation of marine mammals (tortoise

and whales) possibly due to coastal pollutant runoff

Contaminated waters
 CONSUMPTION OF ENERGY
Industrialization has brought increase demand for use of energy resources. It
used tremendous quantity of energy to fuel their business that brought both
positive and negative effects on humans and the ecosystem.

United states and England are major consumers of energy, and china as
major user of petroleum to operate their economy.

Source of energy has changed, with traditional water, wood, coal and oil
gradually being replaced by natural gas, wind, tidal or wave, nuclear, solar
and geothermal, and fuel cell technologies.

The development of these energy sources often uses valuable agriculture

land for the construction, storage, and transport of energy they produce.

 FOSSILS FOR FUELS

It is commonly used as an energy source for 200 years. It

includes naturally occuring materials such as oil, coal, and
natural gas.
It's been obtained million years ago from underground deposits
through biological and geological processes and cannot be
replenished.
Their chemical by-products of fuel combustion are released in
the atmosphere and becomes an air pollution as well as a
phenomenon known as acid oxide ions that has atmospheric
water to produce sulfuric and nitric acid.

 FOSSILS FOR FUELS

This endagers the ecosystem in a way that when rain snow and
sleet containing these acid fall on aquatic ecosystem they can
alter the acid base which endangers the sensitive species of fish
and other amphibians in the sea. And in such case burning of fossil
fuels can be a phenomenon known as global warming.
