Biodiversity

Q:What are ways in which preserving biodiversity locally might have a global effect?
A: Preserving biodiversity in a local way can have a global effect, If other people see how we are preserving biodiversity then they will want to help to. If we preserve biodiversity in Bangladesh and India on a local level then less trees would be logged. If less trees are logged there then there would be more air for us to breathe and less death in India from the floods. Less people dying and more oxygen is good. :)

Q: How do habitat destruction and loss of species effect more than just one area?
A: If all of the trees are cut down in India, then not only would India be effected,but so would a lot of the world. India would have major flooding and they wouldn't have much wood to make wooden products out of and to export them to other countries. Other countries wouldn't have any wooden products imported or exported.

Q: How does preserving biodiversity enhance the life of people?
A: Preserving biodiversity can enhance the life of people because we might/ most likely be able to find cures for cancer, AIDS, etc the cone snail is a great example. The cone snail's population is dropping and if it becomes totally extinct then bye-bye cures for diseases. We would be able to save lives.
