Habitat and Biodiversity Loss

Smith-Spark, Laura. “Habitat and Species Loss Leaves Just 3% of World’s Land Ecosystems Intact — Study.” CNN, Cable News Network, 15 Apr. 2021, edition.cnn.com/2021/04/15/world/intact-ecosystems-report-intl/index.html.

In this article written by Laura Smith, she talks of a study conducted in which there is research on biodiversity loss and the percentage of the biodiversity which is yet to be lost. The study was posted in the journal frontiers of forests and global change. This study as she evaluates and talks about it is one of the research which is very crucial at this time when the loss of biodiversity and habitat is a very common thing. Lately, it is visible that humans have encroached almost all areas of the world even those places whereby it was thought that human beings would be unable to encroach and therefore this leaves the situation very wanting especially for world animals and naturally focusing habitat. This is because according to this article the animals and nature depend on human beings to at least take care of them if not leaving them alone to exist on their own. The research also focuses on the percentage of the world that is intact and that is not adversely affected by human encroachment and it concludes that only 3% of the world’s ecosystem (land) is not yet encroached by human beings.

Therefore this is a very good article and it is important in this research since focusing on the problem of loss of habitat and biodiversity it will be able to provide the statistics of the lost habitat and biodiversity as well as how human beings have encroached the natural environment and brought in destruction as well as possible measures to avert this as it suggests that re-introduction of animals can make the percentage of the intact environment much higher than the current.

This paper states that a person can own large pieces of land as it is a reality in the United States of America and therefore through their ownership they preserve nature, habitat, and biodiversity. However, the federal land does not support a lot of biodiversity as most of it is used and it is used in not very good ways. Therefore the conservation work returns to the private. However, with the wishes and the desire of the government to fully be involved in the conservation process, it offers voluntary incentives to most of the private owners of land and biodiversity. These incentives are an exchange for the government agencies and bodies concerned with environmental care, wildlife, and general biodiversity conservation to be able to use the land for conservation purposes. This research paper discusses the above issues and therefore it is very easy for the government through the involvement of the private sector to be greatly involved in the conservation process and make it possible for the endangered species as well as general biodiversity to be preserved and not to be lost.

This paper, therefore, is necessary to this research as its information is crucial towards the identification of the different ways and methods through which biodiversity is being preserved which is the basic aim of this research. It focuses on the different ways the federal government is involved in conservation and preservation and therefore very necessary to this research. It also educates us and the federal government on possible measures and ways to make sure that the environment is fully taken care of.

This paper brings a new focus to the issue of biodiversity loss and conservation. It talks of how the loss of biodiversity and habitat for most of the animals is a very likely feature related to the very many infectious diseases witnessed in the world today. Giving an example of Ebola this paper states that the loss of biodiversity and the encroachment of human beings into the places where biodiversity used to exist is a very risky practice since not only are humans able to get diseases from the animals but they are also likely to affect the lives of the individual human beings and the general human population as well as the lives of the different species which depended on those habitats and biodiversity for their survival. Even though the corona virus is not mentioned in the research since it was before corona came about the link between Ebola and corona is very strong and therefore it suggests that these two diseases have been caused by the encroachment of human beings into the natural environment thus contracting these diseases from the natural environment.

Therefore the loss of biodiversity means the increase in human diseases and so forth. However, if human beings left the natural environment to stay on their own and flourish in its lone places it means that human infectious disease would not be so many and therefore there would be less suffering on the side of human beings. This paper, therefore, is very important to this research as it brings to the front the relationship between different aspects of biodiversity into the relationship of human beings and wildlife and how this affects the kind of life human beings live. Therefore focusing on this aspect of the loss of biodiversity it will be possible to pursue these kinds of circumstances and problems associated with the loss of biodiversity.
