    Biodiversity is important for functioning ecosystems that support life on Earth. It provides essential services like producing oxygen, cleaning air and water, pollinating plants, and controlling pests. Protecting habitats is necessary to promote biodiversity and prevent harm to entire ecosystems. Major threats to species include expanding development, logging, hunting, and overfishing. While meeting human needs, biodiversity can be supported by practices like organic farming and grazing livestock sustainably. The Earth could thrive without humans, as most current problems stem from human activities disrupting natural cycles. Small actions like fulfilling needs with less species impact can help safeguard biodiversity.

    Learning Task 2: BIODIVERSITY OR BIO-DIE-VERSITY

    1. Why do you think biodiversity is important in the survival of the species?

    Biodiversity is important in the survival of the species because it provides functioning ecosystems
    that supply oxygen, clean air and water, pollination of plants, pest control, wastewater treatment
    and many ecosystem services. Biodiversity makes the earth habitable.

    2. Why do we need to protect the habitats of animals and other species?

    We need to protect the habitats of animals and other species because it promotes biodiversity and
    we know how important biodiversity is to all species on Earth. Also, it helps to prevent the entire
    ecosystem being harmed. As more and more species face extinction, the work being done to
    protect wildlife is becoming more and more important.

    3. What are human-caused activities that threaten the loss of species? Discuss at least 3

    Human-caused activities that threaten the loss of species are the following:
     Expansion of Roads and Cities
     Logging
     Hunting
     Overfishing

    4. How would you reconcile the emerging needs of human beings regarding their health and
    the need to protect the growth of biodiversity?

    I would reconcile the emerging needs of human beings regarding their health and the need to
    protect the growth of biodiversity by supporting local organic farms, raising meat such as cows
    and pigs on grass, creating agricultural pods in areas with large population, eat seasonal foods
    like foods that are commonly around in winters, summer or etc., recycle food waste into compost
    or livestock feed.

    5. Do you think that earth can exist without human beings taking care of it? Or biodiversity
    also needs human beings for it to be in a continuous growing process?
    Yes, I think the Earth would strive much better without humans, if you think about it most of the
    problems that we are facing then and to this day is cause by humans. Humans not having to exist
    makes Earth a striving planet that has species in it that continuously evolves. With biodiversity,
    No, biodiversity does not need humans for it to grow continuous. Biodiversity can grow on its
    own, come to think of it, humans are the only ones who are damaging or disrupting the cycle in
    the ecosystem by way of activities that harms species, thus resulting to extinction of species.
    6. What are small ways that you think would promote safekeeping our biodiversity? What
    do you think are the common human activities that can harm biodiversity? What would
    be the consequences if these human activities might be stopped and prohibited?

    The small way I can think of that would promote safekeeping our biodiversity is by fulfilling our
    need as a human in a way that doesn’t interfere with other species and their habitat, if it is
    impossible, then lessen the impact or come up with better ways to fulfill human needs with
    damaging or disrupting our biodiversity. The common human activities that can harm
    biodiversity I think is hunting because it involves killing of different species that can result to
    those species being endangered or worst case scenario, extinct. What I think would be the
    consequences if these human activities might be stopped and prohibited is that our biodiversity
    would be able to strive much better without the interference of human activities.
