  9. Biodiversity What does “Bio” mean? Life Bio =

  10. Biodiversity What does “Diversity” mean? Diversity = Variety

  11. Scientists have identified more than 1.4 million species. Tens of millions -- remain unknown (www.thecatalogueoflife.org) • The tremendous variety of life on Earth is made possible by complex interactions among all living things including micro-oganisms. Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth and the essential interdependence of all living things

  12. There are 3 components of biodiversity • Diversity of genesChihuahuas, beagles, and rottweilers are all the same species —but they're not the same because there is variety in their genes. Beagle Chihuahua Rottweilers

  13. There are 3 components of biodiversity 2. Diversity of number of speciesFor example, monkeys, dragonflies, and meadow beauties are all different species. Saki Monkey Meadow Beauty Golden Skimmer

  14. There are 3 components of biodiversity 3. Variety of ecosystems Lakes, Ponds, and Rivers are all Freshwater Ecosystems. Rocky coast, Sand Dune, Estuary, Salt Marsh , Coral Reef are all Marine Ecosystems. So what’s an ECOSYSTEM???

  15. What do we get from biodiversity? Oxygen Food Clean Water Medicine Aesthetics Ideas

  16. Should we be concerned about biodiversity? What we know:The Earth is losing species at an alarming rate • Some scientists estimate that as many as 3 species per hour are going extinct and 20,000 extinctions occur each year. • when species of plants and animals go extinct, many other species are affected.

  18. Threats to biodiversity Habitat destruction Pollution Species Introductions Global Climate Change Exploitation

  19. BIODIVERSITY

  20. BIODIVERSITY • How many species are there? • -- 1.4 million named species (70% of which are invertebrates) • -- estimated 3 to 50 million species alive!

  21. WHAT THREATENS BIODIVERSITY? • Background extinction (95% of all extinctions) • Mass extinction

  22. BIODIVERSITY Background rates • 1 mammal species • every 400 years • 1 bird species/200 yrs • Now…………... • 10,000 times the • background rate! • 20-75 plant/animal • species each day?

  23. ENDANGERED VS THREATENED Threatened:population low but extinction less imminent Endangered:nos so low that extinction imminent
