The Significance of Biodiversity: “One’s Action- Thousand Solutions ”

The year of 2010 had been declared as the international year of biodiversity by the United Nation General Assembly 61th session. Coinciding with celebration of World Environment Day , there are many events taking place in the world regarding the celebration of Biodiversity year. Some of many are World Environment Day in Rwanda 5th June, and COP-CBD10 held in Nagoya city, Japan, environmental conferences and so forth. Before determining your pace, we have to figure out the question: “Why do people need to do this? What for and how significant as a global issue?” Thus In my opinion there are 3 major significances of biodiversity and environment as an issue.

Firstly, Biodiversity (BD) is ife and is our life. It brings enormous benefits to mankind from direct goods as harvesting of plants and animals for food, cloth, medicine, fuel, construction materials, and other uses that give you need to live. Those needs are coming from nothing except the nature of Biodiversity. It’s fundamental to the existence of life on Earth. However humans have been the main cause of recent rapid destruction. Ecosystems are being destroyed, animals and plants becoming extinct, and biodiversity is being lost due to increased human activities that ignore the sustainability of biodiversity.

Secondly, Biodiversity clearly plays a major role in the function of ecosystems, and the chain of lif (indirect value of BD). For instance, biodiversity helps keep fresh air to breathe, water clean and naturally manages waterflow and watershed. Excessive exploitation such as deforestation has negatively affected the entire ecosystem itself, and some scientists fear that these could eventually affect humans. We need Ability to not only understand the problems we have created and what needs to be done to amend them, but also the capability of accomplishing these tasks.

Last but not least, Biological Diversity gives the recreational benefits for everyone. Hiking, camping, and birding. In addition, ecotourism is becoming increasingly popular, which has not only raised awareness about biodiversity, but also helps the natural environment economically as well. The beauty and the value of it have complemented the side of how important it is. Aside from that BD also have research values within its richness~ the source of science and technology.

In short, biodiversity is a fundamental component of life on Earth and thus must be protected. we all “need” and “want” biodiversity . We can eventually live entirely with nature, not harm the very system that allows us to exist. This is also about the interdependence of all these living things, including humans. intrinsic theory is that people did not create nature, and therefore should not have the right to destroy it. Every species has a right to not be eliminated by humans of this lies in goods obtained from nature. Thus Conservation and sustainable use of Biodiversity are tangible ways of tackling down problems that exist. A mass media, like Treeehugger will efeciently work to drive informations among people.

Start from yourself, begin with a small thing, and start it RIGHT NOW!!!

Now, we steadily understand why environment and its biodiversity are prominently significant to life. The only thing I can say is to make yourself aware of this issue and spread the words. Apply your awareness in every routine activity you are doing. That’s all thing that matter!!
And we (all) will live in a world paradise….^_^

“I wonder… if people on earth were actively engaged in creating good environment, and thought of themselves as agent of change, problem solvers, role models, and key “stakeholders”…how would the planet change?”

What Will you do??
