    Biodiversity

    Uploaded by

    Regina Mariano
    Biodiversity refers to the total number of species on Earth. Some species contain substances that can treat diseases. Biodiversity is important because wealthy Northern nations need resources from biodiversity hotspots in poorer Southern nations. One way to promote sustainable development is for Northern nations to pay Southern nations to protect their remaining forests. Resources can be extracted sustainably without being depleted. This allows the environment to be preserved for all humanity. Pollution must be fought in all forms to prevent acid rain, the greenhouse effect, and the loss of species, rivers, lakes and seas.
