EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Biodiversity is essential for the processes that support all life on Earth, including humans. Without a wide range of animals, plants and microorganisms, we cannot have the healthy ecosystems that we rely on to provide us with the air we breathe and the food we eat. And people also value nature of itself.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ecological life support-biodiversity provides functioning ecosystems that supply oxygen, clean air and water, pollination of plants, pest control, wastewater treatment and many ecosystem services.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biodiversity should be conserved to prevent species extinction. It is preserved to maintain a balance in nature. If one organism in the food chain gets extinct it will impact the lives of other organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Support local and regional projects aimed at tackling biodiversity loss. Buying fewer products and making sure the products you do buy minimise the impact on biodiversity. Investing in ways that promote biodiversity. Reducing waste of consumer goods: food, clothes, electrical appliances, etc.

Detailed explanation-5: -Protection of water resources. Soils formation and protection. Nutrient storage and recycling. Pollution breakdown and absorption. Contribution to climate stability. Maintenance of ecosystems. Recovery from unpredictable events.
