Biodiversity

Cards (10)

  • Biodiversity refers to the variety and number of organisms and their genes in an area.
  • The growing population leads to a need for more space for infrastructure, which can result in less space for other animal/plant habitats.
  • Deforestation, land use, waste management, and maintaining biodiversity are all factors that contribute to the loss of biodiversity.
  • Global warming is a major cause of habitat destruction, leading to soil erosion, extinction, flash flooding, and the release of greenhouse gases.
  • Recycling reduces waste in landfill and lessens the need to source new raw materials.
  • Managing pollution of air, water, and land is crucial in maintaining biodiversity.
  • The growing population leads to more waste and a higher demand for raw materials, which can lead to more natural disasters.
  • Large biodiversity leads to a more stable ecosystem.
  • Rising temperatures can lead to the extinction of species that cannot adapt, such as coral reef.
  • Greenhouse gases, such as CO2 and methane, are linked to global warming.
