The importance of biodiversity is being more widely recognized as increasing numbers of species come under threat. What can be done to maintain biodiversity? Why is species loss occurring? What is the potential effect of this?

An increasing concern for many people around the world is that the number of

plants

and

animals

which have become extinct has increased greatly. The causes of

this

phenomenon are varied and have led to a wide range of effects on human life. In

I will examine the reasons why species loss is occurring and discuss the results it can have on people and the world. From an

overall

perspective, there are two main reasons why various numbers of species come under threat.

Firstly

, the primary cause of

this

phenomenon is deforestation and illegal logging.

This

is

due to

an enormous demand for land for urbanization which has resulted in the loss of habitat for wild

animals

and

plants

.

Secondly

, biotelemetry can

also

be negatively affected by pollution.

For example

, emissions from vehicles, factories and industrial wastage contribute to global warming, which in turn leads to the destruction of

animals

and

plants

. The results of species loss are numerous and potentially serious. Perhaps the most serious consequence is that

plants

are a valuable source of medicine. If we lose these medicines, we will not be able to cure or treat many complex diseases. A second consequence is that the food chain can be affected. In conclusion, the extinction of

plants

and

animals

is an issue which will continue to be demanded in the foreseeable future. If the government and individuals do not work together to solve

this

problem, the well-being of our future generation will be in danger.
