Question

There is an article in your local newspaper about an upcoming Biodiversity Day event at your university. Because, after studying biology, you understand why it's important to conserve biodiversity, you plan to attend. Your younger brother tells you he doesn't understand how the loss of a few species or habitats in town can have any impact on anyone's life. What would you tell your brother?

Answer 1

Answer:

I will tell him the importance of Biodiversity Conservation.

Explanation:

Biodiversity is the variety of plants and animals in a particular habitat.

Sustainable natural resources conservation is a process that involves rational use and skilful management and preservation of the natural environment with all its resources. This is done to improve, maintain and protect the natural environment and its resources for the benefit of all of us. (Mankind)

Natural resources should be conserved so that ecological balance will be maintained and saved for future generations.

Therefore the proper management of a resource to prevent its destruction or exploitation To make sure human race survives is called Conservation.

The benefits of conservation includes,

Reduction of air and water pollution.

Preservation of open and green spaces.

Preservation of fish and wildlife habitats, endangered species, and biodiversity.

Managing and protecting watersheds and wetlands.

recreational amenities.

Preventing soil erosion and improving soil quality.

Then I will let him know that all these benefits can be lost by just cutting a few trees, loosing a few species and habitat in town.

Soil erosion can take place, low quality soil hence poor crop yield, we will loose those species and already there are endangered species, pollution of air and water which can lead to increase in diseases an death rate. I believe he will understand when I tell him these things.
