The Importance Of Biodiversity On The Planet

The importance of biodiversity on the planet

Biodiversity and the issue of conservation of this must be referred to a universal interest, being the human being responsible for much of the loss of biological diversity, thanks to the actions that it takes many times against it for satisfactionown. But since taking actions worldwide is more complex, it is said that each State is responsible for biological diversity and sustainable use of its resources, although much information on the subject and knowledge is still needed to achieve planning and the application of measuresadequate.  

According to Mugurran (1988) the interest of ecologists in biological diversity is based on three reasons. The first speaks that diversity is the central theme in ecology;The second reason is that the well -being of an ecosystem can be known according to the diversity indicators and the measurements that are made for it and as a third reason is the debate that still exists between diversity and measurement, since it may seem simple and even intuitiveAt first glance, but in ecology there are already several aforementioned indexes and models to measure diversity.

There is also talk of the ecological behavior that is the set of reproduction strategies that a species presents and that makes it able to remain in a given place, these strategies are the evolutionary response that the general species before the physical and biotic environmental elements, with thisThe importance value index is obtained, through the integration of relative values with abundance, dominance and frequency.

It is normal that those pioneer species which are favored by light increase the importance value of an intervention for timber purposes. 

Thus, when we talk biodiversity, the role it plays in the maintenance of the welfare of the human being must be taken into account. The importance of biodiversity from a vision of services and goods provided by ecosystems, such as food provision to fibers to make clothes, through the filtering of air or water, protection against natural disasters, the formation of the formation ofsoil or climate regulation, they are of great relevance to man, to lead to a quality of life.  The loss of biodiversity results in a deterioration of ecosystems providing the decline of human health, greater food insecurity, greater vulnerability to catastrophes and environmental changes and, ultimately, a decrease in our quality of life.  

But beyond an anthropocentrist vision, biodiversity is of vital importance since it presents interactions with all species of an ecosystem are united in dynamic equilibrium with each other and with the environment that surrounds them, forming a dynamic, where all of them are involved inBasic processes for the operation of the biosphere as a whole. When a species disappears, the dynamic that affects the species in direct or indirect interaction with it is broken, ultimately modifying the entire ecosystem.
