  • Biodiversity
    The variety of living organisms within a given area including plants, bacteria, animals, and humans
  • 3 Types of Biodiversity
    • Species Diversity
    • Genetic Diversity
    • Ecological Diversity
  • Species Diversity
    The variety of the different types of species found in a particular area
  • Genetic Diversity
    The variations among genetic resources of the organisms
  • Ecological Diversity
    The diversity observed among the different ecosystems in a region
  • Biodiversity is essential for the processes that support all life on Earth, including humans
  • The loss of biodiversity threatens food supplies, opportunities for recreation and tourism, and sources of wood, medicines, and energy
  • 2010 was declared the International Year of Biodiversity by the United Nations
  • Biotechnology
    Technology that utilizes biological systems, living organisms or parts of this to develop or create different products
  • Applications of Biotechnology
    • Agricultural biotechnology (Green biotechnology)
    • Food biotechnology
    • Industrial biotechnology (White biotechnology)
    • Environmental biotechnology
    • Medical biotechnology (Red biotechnology)
    • Marine biotechnology (Blue biotechnology)
  • Biodiversity International has released a module titled "Law and policy of relevance to the management of plant genetic resources"
  • Genetic engineering
    A technique that allows genes and DNA to be transferred from one source to another, leading to the production of living modified organisms (LMOs) or genetically modified organisms (GMOs)
  • Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)
    Plants, animals, microorganisms, or other organisms whose genetic makeup has been modified using recombinant DNA methods, gene modification, or transgenic technology
  • Genetic engineering of animals offers solutions for improving public health and enhancing quality of life
  • Producing GM crop
    Recombinant DNA Technology (Genetic Engineering)
  • The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety is an international agreement which aims to ensure the safe handling, transport, and use of living modified organisms (LMOs) resulting from modern biotechnology
  • The Philippines recognizes the technologies that can be of particular help for its development, and is one of the biodiversity "hot spots" in the world
  • Global Area of Transgenic Crops increased from 1996 to 2003
