Positives And Negatives Of Biodiversity Research Paper

Controversy exists over whether biodiversity issues have negative impacts on the ecosystem and environment. While some well-intentioned people believe that the environment would not be affected by biodiversity (biological diversity) problems, I hold onto the view that biodiversity issues strongly influence ecosystems in that they not only effect on the land, but also will create significant challenges for the air and the water resources. Biodiversity is commonly defined as the variety of all life. It includes genetic, species and ecosystem diversity and all the interactions between them. Biodiversity’s importance is due to its contribution to environmental, economic, cultural and social well-being by providing valuable ecosystem services such as pollination, carbon storage by forests, bio-filtration of water, nutrient cycling, soil formation, erosion control, sediment retention and …show more content…
Considering that terrestrial biodiversity makes important contributions to human well-being, I believe in that many of the actions needed to promote economic devel¬opment and reduce hunger and poverty are likely to further reduce (or otherwise negatively impact) biodiversity. The findings make the policy changes necessary to reverse these trends difficult to agree on and implement in the short term. I cling to the notion that biodiversity issues have negative effects on the ecosystem and it should be taken under consideration in three different aspects: biodiversity in water, terrestrial biodiversity and biodiversity in the air. There is a strong likelihood that by adopting some beneficial policies by government, biodiversity issues will slightly improve until these challenges are totally eradicated. For future research in this area I propose a Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) in all areas mentioned as well as a case study about the effects of loss of biodiversity in American native
