GE 7 – SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY

BIODIVERSITY WORKSHEET BSIT 2A, 2B, 2C First Semester, A.Y. 2020-2021

Name__Anthony C. Ignacio _________________________________ Activity 1: 50 points Section: __BSCRIM 1C ___________________________________ Questions for Reflection: 1. How would you reconcile the emerging needs of human beings regarding their health and the need to protect the growth of biodiversity? (5 points) WE CAN RECONCILE HUMAN BEINGS' EMERGING HEALTH NEEDS WITH THE NEED TO PROTECT BIODIVERSITY GROWTH BY SAVING WATER, SUPPORTING LOCAL ORGANIC FARMS, REDUCE MEAT CONSUMPTION, AND SO ON. 2. Do you think that Earth can exist without human beings taking care of it? Or biodiversity also needs human beings for it to be in a continuous growing process? (5 points) Ecosystems are altered by humans. As long as humans are on the planet, altering habitats, they must be mindful of their effects and strive to reduce them. We are currently responsible for the planet's declining biodiversity. We are reliant on the habitats we are altering, and if we aren't careful, we can render the world uninhabitable for humans, not to mention taking other animals down with us. Life will most likely continue for surviving species after we are gone, and evolutionary processes may result in increased biodiversity. Alternately, we should change our societies, cultures, and behaviors to become stewards of the earth's habitats, if only because it is the smart thing to do if we want to survive as a species for another few hundred or thousand years. 3. What are small ways that you think would promote safekeeping our biodiversity? (5 points) The first prerequisite for biodiversity preservation, in my opinion, is to maintain a wide and healthy ecosystem. Of course, the size is determined by the animal's size and the range required to meet its biological requirements. On a smaller scale, we need to promote biocorridors that link natural areas, such as bushes and trees in the middle of agricultural landscapes.

4. What do you think are the common human activities that can harm biodiversity? What would be the consequences if these human activities might be stopped and prohibited? (10points) Deforestation and hunting / killing animals are two common human activities that can harm biodiversity. All land plants and animals live in forests. Deforestation and the degradation of forest ecosystems are the leading causes of plant and animal extinction; if these practices were to cease, forest species would be restored, and we might also assist in the development of new species.

5. What else could affect the distribution of organisms in a habitat? (5points)
