Study Notes
Biodiversity Importance
- Maintaining ecosystem services essential for human survival, including air and water purification, soil formation, and climate regulation
Consequences of Species Loss
- Accelerated loss of species at a rate 100-1,000 times higher than natural rate, leading to ecosystem collapse and disruption of ecosystem services
- Potential consequence: irreparable harm to ecosystems, potentially catastrophic for human societies
Accumulation of Rich Diversity
- Estimated 3.5 billion years for the rich diversity in nature to accumulate through evolution
- Gradual process of species adaptation, mutation, and natural selection
