What is Biodiversity?

Biological diversity is the variety and variability among living
organisms and the ecological complexes in which they occur.
Biodiversity is the totality of

       Genetic diversity

       Species diversity

       Ecosystem diversity
Genetic diversity refers to the variation of genes within species.
This covers distinct populations of the same species

(such as the thousands of traditional rice varieties in India) or

genetic variation within a populations
Species diversity refers to the variety of species within
region.
Ecosystem diversity consists of :


 the inhabiting species in all their variety and richness. Many
different species, gene-pool abundance, and unique populations are
what most people think of when they hear the term "biodiversity".
Ecosystem structure

refers to the physical patterns of life forms

 Ecosystem functions

 Ecological processes create landscapes and diverse
 environmental conditions out of life itself.
Rainforest are among the most biodiverse
        Ecosystem in the World


    Malaysia is one of the 12 world hotspots for
                   Biodiversity
Why is biodiversity so important?




We could call it our 'life support system'.
What threatens biodiversity?

Many human activities have a negative effect upon our
biodiversity.

Each time we change the natural environment we change the
environment that biodiversity lives in.

YOU HAVE GOT SEVEN YEARS
  2010 GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY
CHALLENGE BEGINS THE RACE FOR
            LIFE

 Can we reverse the tide of environmental
  destruction in seven years? The global
   community thinks it can, and aims to
 achieve a significant reduction in the loss
of biodiversity - the living world - by 2010.
 On World Biodiversity Day the Secretary
 General of the UN calls for everyone to
 make a pledge to generate momentum
      towards its preservation.
How Do We Sustain and
      Preserve
Action for Biodiversity Sustenance

Meeting the increasing demand for biological resources
caused by population growth and increased consumption.
Increasing our capacity to document and understand
biodiversity, its value, and threats to it.
Building adequate expertise and experience in
biodiversity planning.
Improving policies, legislation, guidelines, and fiscal
measures for regulating the use of biodiversity.
Adopting incentives to promote more sustainable forms
of biodiversity use.
Promoting trade rules and practices
Strengthening coordination within governments,
 and between governments and stakeholders.
Securing adequate financial resources
Making better use of technology.
Building political support Improving education and
public awareness
The passage of the Earth's biodiversity
through the coming century will be its most
severe test.
With human population expected to rise
dramatically, particularly in developing
countries, and the consumer revolution set for
exponential expansion - species and
ecosystems will face ever more serious
threats.

   Unless we take action now,
children born today will live in an
      impoverished world.

       Natural World for
