Biodiversity article response

The human race have caused much damage to the environment and biodiversity. For example, three types of vulture populations were injured because of diclofenac, an anti-inflammatory drug which were soon found to cause renal problems in these vultures. Because of this, the dead bodies of cows that the vultures ate were eaten by the wild dogs, causing that population to increase dramatically, also making the chance of rabies being transferred greater. Therefore, the lives of the millions of people that were affected by rabies almost directly linked to the declining vulture population. This sequence is probably likelier to get the public's attention than the one of ethics. Our material need and our survival is higher than our sympathies for other species. We have drive off human tribes from the land to keep it "natural", not thinking that we may have been part of a natural cycle of things that was interrupted by our disappearance. "Hot spots" and "biodiversity" aren't popular choices for words because they often draw negative auras. In fact, 30% of the US population don't know what the word "biodiversity" means. That's 90,660,000 people in the United States. Many people can appreciate the value of nature as a collection of resources, perfectly captured in Paul Ehrlic's term "environmental practices". We need to throw out the stereotype that the conservation of nature and the preservation of the human race cannot mix because that is exactly what we need to do to survive and help nature survive with us.

Biodiversity

1. Preserving local biodiversity effects the world because it may be one of the few places that have an endangered or soon-to-be endangered species.
2. The destruction of a habitat can kill the the animals that live there or cause them to move to another habitat and occupy another species' niche, which in turn can devastate the latter animal, and the "Cycle of Death" continues forever.
3. Preserving biodiversity can benefit human economics and medicine. Many of the spices that are main exports were discovered on accident when plants use them as modes of self-defense. The future of medicines may also depend on the biodiversity of our world. Already, we use asprin, an analgesic that was derived from chemicals that originated from biotic defensive reactions.
