1. What is Biodiversity? Biodiversity is a variation in life.
2. What are we doing to decrease biodiversity? What is a Mono-culture? We are farming to decrease biodiversity. Monoculture is the cultivation of a single crop in a given area.
3. How much of our planet's species have been identified? Our planet species have been identified less than 1/2 of the species found.
4. What is keystone species? What is an example? Why are they important?
A keystone species a species on which other species in an ecosystem largely depend, such that if it were removed the ecosystem would change drastically.
5. E.O. Wilson stated, “ The one process ongoing that will take millions of years to correct is the loss of genetic and species diversity by the destruction of natural habitats. This is the folly that our descendants are least likely to forgive us.” Discuss this statement. What is the #1 cause of species decline?
The number of human is cause of species decline according to the E.O. Wilson.
