People depend on biodiversity in their daily lives, in ways that are not always apparent or appreciated. Human health ultimately depends upon ecosystem products and services (such as availability of fresh water, food and fuel sources) which are requisite for good human health and productive livelihoods. Biodiversity loss can have significant direct human health impacts if ecosystem services are no longer adequate to meet social needs. Indirectly, changes in ecosystem services affect livelihoods, income, local migration and, on occasion, may even cause or exacerbate political conflict. Additionally, biological diversity of microorganisms, flora and fauna provides extensive benefits for biological, health, and pharmacological sciences. Significant medical and pharmacological discoveries are made through greater understanding of the earth's biodiversity. Loss in biodiversity may limit discovery of potential treatments for many diseases and health problems. References Google.com Photo: britannica.com |

Hello Adetomiwa, this is your mentor Joon.
I like the line 'People depend on biodiversity in their daily lives, in ways that are not always apparent or appreciated.' Though the arrogant mankind thinks that we do not need nature and other creatures to sustain our life, such thoughts are not true. We always depend on biodiversity whether it is apparent or not. We always underestimate the consequences of loosing the biodiversity of current level.
Well read your article, and let's keep up!
Best,
Joon

Hello Adetomiwa, this is your mentor Chelwoon.
Biodiversity is essential for the processes that support all life on earth, including humans. Without rich biodiversity, we cannot have the healthy ecosystems that we rely on. Many ecologists warn us of unknown impacts from the consequences of losing biodiversity. Therefore, we should not only aim to protect every single species, but also set up some plans to alleviate issues and take action immediately.
Thank you for the article!
Regards,
Chelwoon
