Description
Biodiversity refers to the variety of living things within an ecosystem, including species, genetic diversity, and ecosystem diversity. The interdependence of species within an ecosystem is highlighted, emphasizing how they rely on each other for survival. The lesson also discusses the characteristics of ecosystems with rich biodiversity and explains why warm climates tend to have greater biodiversity. It addresses the loss of biodiversity, including natural biodiversity loss due to seasonal changes and ecological disturbances, human-driven biodiversity loss caused by factors such as population growth, urbanization, farming, and pollution, and the disruption of ecosystems by non-native species. The consequences of biodiversity loss on ecosystems and humans are discussed, emphasizing the interconnectedness of ecosystems and the need to protect biodiversity. The lesson concludes by highlighting the Amazon rainforest as a region with significant biodiversity and emphasizing the potential failure of ecosystems if the loss of biodiversity continues.
