Global Implications Of
Biodiversity Loss
INTRODUCTION•
BIODIVERSITY is the degree of variation
of life forms within a given species, ecosystem, biome, or an entire planet.
CAUSESHuman Population Growth
Habitat Destruction
Pollution
Agriculture
Global Warming
CAUSES
Forest Fragmentation
Hunting, Fishing and Gathering
MECHANISM
Biodiversity loss emanated because of unsustainable human population growth that leads to: greater demand of space, food and clothing habitat encroachment enormous consumption
EFFECTS Biodiversity loss has an effect to:
Food Security Health Ecosystem Services Source of Livelihood Social Benefits
IMPACTS
Economic Ocean Ecosystem Services Human Health - Nutritional Impact - Health Research and Traditional Medicine - Infectious Disease - Climate Change and Health
MITIGATIONProtect full range of
Biodiversity Prevention and early
intervention Direct and Indirect
drivers of Biodiversity loss must be addressed to better protect biodiversity and ecosystem services

CONCLUSION
Daily human activities and its rapid increase in number constitute to what is called biodiversity loss. As a result, many species die because of habitat encroachment. Nature, in turn, will no longer be able to meet the demands of humans as it has loss its natural balance.
RECOMMENDATIONS
People should:- think sustainable
consumption- suitable laws and policies be
strengthened - be informed about the
benefits of conserving biodiversity
