hippo
how can we help pollution
reduce number of trips in car
reduce fireplace wood
reduce stove use
avoid burning leaves and trash and more
threats to biodiversity that make species go extincts
over harvesting
habitat loss
pollution
invasive species
human population
define biodiversity
the variety of life in the world or in a particular habitat or ecosystem
why is habitat fragmentation a concern
leads to loss of biodiversity increases in invasive plants, pests,pathogens, and reduction in water
what is a example of elephants losing there tusk
overharvesting
how can you help fix invasive species
move fire wood
clean your boat before transfiring to new water
clean your hiking
how can species decrease its chances of going extinct
by being broadly distributed
three types of biodiversity
genetic diversity
species diversity
ecosystem diversity
what is the greatest threat to biodiversity
deforestation
genetic diversity is
how differently organisms are within a population
how have humans contributed to habitat loss
deforestation
urbanization
roads
more
what decreases chance of becoming extinct
high reproductive rate
what biome has the greatest diversity
tropical forest
what is a invasive species
any kind of living organism.
species diversity
different organisms in a area
what is habitat loss
process in which natural habitat is unable to support the species present.
over harvesting is
the extraction of a resource from the natural environment at an unsustainable rate
why is genetic diversity within a species important
it allows natural selection to increase or decrease frequency of alleles already in the population
what are the 3 main types of pollution
air pollution
water pollution
land pollution
biodiversity is important for what
water
soil
and air quality
what does h.I.P.P.O stand for
habitat loss
invasive species
pollution
human population
over harvesting
why should you care
our health, long term wealth, and general well being are dependent on nature
why is biodiversity important
it provides vital ecosystem functions and a ecological life support
why is human population growth a concern
it could lead to food shortage, global warming and more from overpopulation
what is functional diversity
the biological and chemical processes such as energy flow and matter recycling needed for the survival of species communities and ecosystems
