WHY IS BIODIVERSITY IMPORTANT TO ENDANGERED SPECIES?

Biodiversity is the variety of life (its ecosystems, populations, species, and genus). The impacts of biodiversity loss include clearly into fewer new medicines, greater vulnerability to natural disasters and greater effects from global warming.

Biodiversity provides us with tremendous vital benefits:

Air Purification: Forests filer particulates and help regulate the composition of the atmosphere and purify our air. Loosing forests around the world increases air pollution.

Buffering the land against Ocean storms: Mangrove Forest protect coastlines against Vegetated banks bind the soil, preventing erosion caused by wave and surface water flow.

Aesthetics and Spiritual: The natural world is beautiful and valued for its aesthetic appeal. Loss of biodiversity impoverishes our world of natural beauty and wonder, both for ourselves and for the future generations.

Mitigation of floods: Floodplains are ecosystems that border rivers subject to flooding. Following excessive rains, flood waters flow over riverbanks and into these floodplains forests and wetlands. Some of the water is soaked up by the soil.
