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.
CAUSES
Human 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
MITIGATION
 Protect 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
