Collapse Of Biodiversity

Biodiversity

Back 1

the variety of life in the world or in a particular habitat or ecosystem.

Rainforest

Back 2

Rainforests are forests characterized by high rainfall, with annual rainfall between 250 and 450 centimeters (98 and 177 in). There are two types of rainforest: tropical rainforest and temperate rainforest.

Front 3

Canopy

Back 3

Also called crown canopy, crown cover. the cover formed by the leafy upper branches of the trees in a forest.

Front 4

Forest Floor

Back 4

The forest floor, also called detritus, duff and the O horizon, is one of the most distinctive features of a forest ecosystem. It mainly consists of shed vegetative parts, such as leaves, branches, bark, and stems, existing in various stages of decomposition above the soil surface.

Indigenous People

Back 5

Indigenous people are people defined in international or national legislation as having a set of specific rights based on their historical ties to a particular territory, and their cultural or historical distinctiveness from other populations that are often politically dominant.

Deforestation

Back 6

Deforestation, clearance or clearing is the removal of a forest or stand of trees where the land is thereafter converted to a non-forest use. Examples of deforestation include conversion of forestland to farms, ranches, or urban use. The most concentrated deforestation occurs in tropical rainforests.

The Rate Of Consequences Of Deforestation

Back 7

Deforestation has many negative effects on the environment. The most dramatic impact is a loss of habitat for millions of species. Seventy percent of Earth's land animals and plants live in forests, and many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their homes. Deforestation also drives climate change.

How Deforestation Affects Biodiversity

Back 8

Effects of deforestation and forest degradation. ... When forest cover is removed, wildlife is deprived of habitat and becomes more vulnerable to hunting. Considering that about 80% of the world's documented species can be found in tropical rain forest ,deforestation poses a serious threat to the Earth's biodiversity.

How Deforestation Affects Wild Life In Rainforest

Back 9

“Seventy percent of Earth's land animals and plants live in forests, and many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their homes.” The trees of the rainforest that provide shelter for some species also provide the canopy that regulates the temperature, a necessity for many others.

What would happen if the rain forest canopy wasn't there?

Back 10

Mother Nature supports life on earth through a delicate balancing act — one that requires forests full of trees to create the oxygen that us living beings need to breathe. Despite the colossally important role of trees, deforestation rates have been steadily increasing over the last 50 years, causing a number of significant problems for humans, animals, and the ecosystem. Read on to discover the truth about deforestation’s harmful effects and what’s being done to fix it.

What would happen if you deleted all biodiversity

Back 11

There would be no life in the rainforest, period.

Front 12

How could deleting one of the species affect all of the other species?

Back 12

The species that relies on that species, would slowly die with all the other species, that relies on the other species. Concluding, all the species would die. Going extinct is not the other species that relies on that species.
