Answer:

Biodiversity conservation

Explanation:

<em>Biodiversity conservation means the protection of different species of organisms present around the world due to their potentials to be a source of drug, food, industrial materials or other important human use.</em>

Several important species that could have been a source of food or other important materials have gone extinct either naturally or due to direct/indirect human actions.

Assuming rosy periwinkle has gone extinct, there is no way its extract would have been discovered to be a good treatment for cancer.

<em>Hence, biodiversity conservation or preservation are efforts put in place to preserve organisms that will serve as our future heritage.</em>

An example of an adaptation to prevent water loss in plants is
Masja [62]
One example can be the needle shaped leaves.

In desert areas, there are not much water sources. So basically, any drop of water is precious. To help prevent water loss of plants, for example cactus has very thin leaves that are needle shaped. Or some even don't have any leaves. This can reduce the surface area of leaves and thus reduce the water evaporating to the outer environment.

Another example also shown on cactus is that they have very thick waxy cuticle. It can also prevent water from evaporating from the stem. So that's why you see the stem is very shinny.
