objectives
• Define biodiversity
• List types of biodiversity
• Propose why there is need to protect biodiversity.
 Biodiversity
• Biodiversity is the variety of the world’s organisms, including their
genetic diversity and the assemblage they from.
• Biological diversity, abbreviated as biodiversity, represented the sum
total of various life forms such as unicellular fungi , protozoa, bacteria,
and multicellular organisms such as plants, fishes, and mammals at
various biological levels including gens, habitats, and ecosystem.

HISTORY OF BIODIVERSITY
• Charles Darwin identified the first principal of the origin of modern
biodiversity, namely that all species were linked in a single great
phylogeny, or tree of life, and that all could be traced back to a
presumed single original species at some distant time in the
geological past
• The term Biodiversity was first coined by Walter G. Rosen in 1986

What is Environmental Science?
The study of how humans interact with
their environment
Our environment is everything that
surrounds us, both natural and man-
made.
Environment: the total or our surroundings
• All the things around us with which we interact
• Livings things
*Animals, plants, forests, fungi, etc.
• Nonliving things
* Continents, oceans, clouds, soil, rocks
• Our built environment
*Buildings, human-created living centers
Social relationships and institutions
Natural resources: vital to human survival
* renewable resources
• Perpetually available: sunlight, wind, wave energy
• Renew themselves over short periods: timber, water, soil
• These can be destroyed
• Nonrenewable resources: can be depleted
• Oil, coal, minerals
• “…The earth enables our people to survive, the environment must be
respected and maintain, As long as the earth remains healthy, the
people remain healthy”(long and fox, 1996)
Brainstorm
• With your partner/group, brainstorm at least 10 ways in which
destruction to the environment and depletion of resources can affect
our overall well being as a population
The “ecological footprint”
• The environment impact of a person or population
• Amount of biologically productive land + water for raw materials and
to dispose/recycle wasted
• Overshoot: humans have surpassed the earth’s capcity
Conclusion
• Environmental science helps us understand our relationship with the
environment and informs our attempts to solve and prevent
problems.
• Solving environmental problems can move us towards health ,
longevity, peace and prosperity.
• Environmental science ca help us find balanced solutions to
environmental probles.
