Biodiversity

What are ways in which preserving biodiversity locally might have a global effect?

Preserving biodiversity locally might have a global effect by saving species in the area. If we save the species in our local biodiversity, then there is more of a chance that the species will survive because we are protecting those animals. When we are protecting those species, they are not in any danger and if they are free of danger then that species will not go extinct.

How do habitat destruction and loss of species effect more than just one area?

Habitat destruction can effect more than one area by urbanization. If people create homes and buildings on the animals homes, then they have to find somewhere else to survive. Since they were kicked out of there homes, then they have to move into another animals homes. If there is not enough food for either species, then they start dying out. It started with one species losing their homes, then it lead to some of those and other species dying.

How does preserving biodiversity enhance the life of people?
Preserving biodiversity can enhance the life of people. When people kill a spider, they do not think of what the spider does for them. Spiders eat a lot of pesky bugs that could potentially end up eating our food or bugging us. If we did not have those spiders, then the bugs would be everywhere. Flies and gnats are what will be waking you up in the morning as they jump up and down on your face. We do not think about the long term effect before we kill something because at the time it is scary or annoying, but we need to start to think, what does this do for me?
