conservation + biodiversity

• benefits of maintaining bio diversity

  • protecting human food supplies
  • minimal damage to food chains
  • eco tourism
  • provides new jobs
  • maintaining culture
  • provides future meds
• maintaining people's food chain

  bc of overfishing the fish supply has massively decreased, conservation makes sure future gens have fish to eat
• maintaining food chains 


  if one organism in a food chain is affected then that will impact the whole ecosystem. conservation of 1 species can help others to survive
• maintaining meds for the future gen

  many meds come from plants, if these plants or undiscovered plants go extinct then it reduces the amount of meds available
• cultural aspects 


  some animals r seen as a national symbol e.g USA the bald eagle is being conserved
• eco-tourism 


  tourism can occur but in a sustainable way that doesn't damage the environment. it brings in money to biodiverse areas
• new jobs created


  from eco tourism and conservation new jobs r created benefitting locals
