Biodiversity is the variety and amount of different species and plants in a particular habitat. Biodiversity takes a big place in keeping our ecosystem balanced and well cared for. We need Biodiversity to make sure our food chain and food web stays stabilized, to continue to have a safe and nurturing environment, and to keep our ecosystem aligned. The region I will be focusing on will be San Diego. Some very important species that we have are bats, coyotes, cottontail rabbit, fox, mountain lion, skunk, rat, etc. All of these Species help us keep our ecosystem

If No-Bug Pesticide gets to 5.0 ppb (parts per billion), the water is unable to drink. Therefore, I think that bioremediation is the best solution to clean up Strawberry Creek because it poses no health problems, you can fix conditions if they are improper, but the conditions are hard to get through. First off, bioremediation poses no health problems.…

    As I stepped onto the desolate beach, I was immediately in awe of this paradise inhabited only by nature. I heard nothing but a silence interrupted only by the sounds of turquoise blue waves crashing and sea lions barking. The powdery sand beneath my feet was the softest I had ever felt.

Genetic Biodiversity plays a major role for the Flora and Fauna to survive. If there wasn't such vast diversity between the plants and animals the park would not function. For example if we only had one particular type of breed of deer which was slow, it would be an easy target for predators which would eventually lead the deer to be extinct. It is important to have multiple breeds of the same specie so that there is a balance.…

Due to a higher demand in agricultural products, farmers and companies have expanded and opened up more land to develop and farm. Again Riordan and Rundel add that agricultural land poses a more immediate threat to the biodiversity than climate change does because of the destruction of native species. Their article continues to question if the mass expansion is driven by the uprising of towns and cities that drive farmers out of…
