Global Implications Of

Biodiversity Loss

INTRODUCTION•

BIODIVERSITY is the degree of variation

of life forms within a given species, ecosystem, biome, or an entire planet.

CAUSESHuman Population Growth

Habitat Destruction

Pollution

Agriculture

Global Warming

CAUSES

Forest Fragmentation

Hunting, Fishing and Gathering

MECHANISM

Biodiversity loss emanated because of unsustainable human population growth that leads to: greater demand of space, food and clothing habitat encroachment enormous consumption

EFFECTS Biodiversity loss has an effect to:

Food Security Health Ecosystem Services Source of Livelihood Social Benefits

IMPACTS

Economic Ocean Ecosystem Services Human Health - Nutritional Impact - Health Research and Traditional Medicine - Infectious Disease - Climate Change and Health

MITIGATIONProtect full range of

Biodiversity Prevention and early

intervention Direct and Indirect

drivers of Biodiversity loss must be addressed to better protect biodiversity and ecosystem services

REPUBLIC ACT NO. 8371- The Indigenous Peoples Rights ActAn act to recognize, protect and promote the rights of indigenous cultural communities/indigenous people, creating a national commission of indigenous people, establishing implementing mechanisms, appropriating funds therefor, and for other purposes.

CONCLUSION

Daily human activities and its rapid increase in number constitute to what is called biodiversity loss. As a result, many species die because of habitat encroachment. Nature, in turn, will no longer be able to meet the demands of humans as it has loss its natural balance.

RECOMMENDATIONS

People should:- think sustainable

consumption- suitable laws and policies be

strengthened - be informed about the

benefits of conserving biodiversity
