Biodiversity
Biodiversity refers to the sum of all
the different species of animals, fungi,
and microbial organisms living on
Earth and the variety of habitats in
which they live. It allowed ecosystems
to function properly. It is essential to
the well being of humans and plants.
However the biodiversity is in serious
danger, it is shrinking at an alarming
rate. It is estimated that the Earth is
losing approximately 27,000 species
per year. The cause of biodiversity loss
is largely due to the explosion in
human population.
The shrinking of the biodiversity would
have a huge impact on lives of
human. Biodiversity provides the
necessity that makes life possible. It
provides fresh water, clean air and
nutrients. Without all of these things, it is
impossible for human to survive, The
human destruction of the natural
habitats, the raising temperature and
introduced species has jeopardized our
biodiversity. The human destruction of
natural habitats is one of the greatest
threats to biodiversity. Human has
physically transformed the earth's face.
Human destroyed wetlands, forests and
jungles and replaced it with railways and
The greenhouse effect has affected
our biodiversity tremendously. The burning of
fossil fuels produce large amounts of
greenhouse gases which trap the heat in the
air. The greenhouse effect has caused the
temperature to rise unnaturally and
dramatically. Scientists blame it for an
increase in the Earth's surface temperature of
about 0.6 Celsius degrees (about 1 Fahrenheit
degree) over the last nearly 100 years.
Without remedial measures, many scientists
fear global temperature will rise 1.4 to 5.8
Celsius degrees (2.5 to 10.4 Fahrenheit
degrees) by 2100. The warmer temperature
could melt polar icecaps which would cause
the sea level to rise and lands to sink. Lots of
animal would be unable to survive in warmer
temperature. Scientists have warned that
The introduced species have damaging
effect to biodiversity. It unbalances the
environment. The introduced animals
may prefer other wild animals to the
pests they supposed to destroy.
We can protect biodiversity in the following
methods: conservation and preservation.
Conservation is to set resources aside
from use. National park is one form of
conservation. Preservation means to set
resources aside so we can use later.
Other strategies include reducing impact
of feral animals and plants by controlling
them; set species breeding program;
Nouns
 The word comes from the Latin
 nomen meaning "name".

  A noun is a word used to refer to


people, animals, objects, substances,
states, events and feelings. Nouns
can be a subject or an object of a
