Why is biodiversity so important? - Kim Preshoff

Our planet’s diverse, thriving ecosystems may seem like permanent fixtures, but they’re actually vulnerable to collapse. Jungles can become deserts, and reefs can become lifeless rocks. What makes one ecosystem strong and another weak in the face of change? Kim Preshoff details why the answer, to a large extent, is biodiversity.

Why is the rainforest so biodiverse?
The genetic variety within species.
2 examples of interconnection in the rainforest are….
Liana vines and tree tops, plants providing food for animals that carry their seeds
Genetic Diversity allows species to cope with Species that lack genetic diversity are ____more____ vulnerable to fluctuations or changes.
Keystone species are ____vital____organisms that many other organisms depend on for survival____on

Why is the rainforest more likely to survive change than the ecosystem that corals live in?
The forest can stay resilient and recover from change but organisms in the coral reefs have dependant relationships with each other

hope this helped. keep your heads up kings and queens, we are almost out of this.

In this video, I have learned that maintaining biodiversity is essential for preserving the balance of nature. Diversity among organisms is essential to promote symbiotic relationships and to have harmonious interactions in the many ecosystems that humans lived in.

In this video I learned that biodiversity serve as the habitat of all living organisms and now I know that all living creatures needs other organisms to live, and the more plants, insects, and animal species living in one area is the the greater the biodiversity and the healthier ecosystem..so we should keep our biodiversity clean and protected...

I use to watch this for fun but now its for summer school. Man it hits different now, I want to cry.

Biodiversity is the variety of life on earth, which each individual brings to the ecosystem. Everyone contributes to the environment that each of us benefits from, therefore when one species goes extinct, it has an effect on us all. Every single one of us forms the basis of the ecosystem.

I'm 27 and I'm still learning. Students, keep learning. Ask the biggest f***ing questions you can think of. Challenge yourselves, each other, your teachers.

We need to come together. We should be learning about precious resources and how to ensure that they continue to exist.

The economy means nothing if the environment isn't being considered. Environment is the real value, economy is the illusion that has always been against nature.

Wanting constant acceleration of wealth in numerical value without considering where the vast majority of wealth is actually coming from. Not the economy or the pyramid, but the effervescent environment which surrounds and constitutes possibility.

We've only got one planet so we better protect it and stop destroying it.

[CamilleOlaivar]

In this video I learned that some of the species are interdependent with each other where the loss of the keystone species can also affect the species that depends to it. This shows that we should all respect the species around us.

Ecosystem diversity, species diversity, and genetic diversity. Sweet, that's question 1 down

[brijeshwarisharma]
