Question

Speech on the importance of preserving the various life forms on earth

Answer 1

Biological diversity, commonly known as biodiversity, is a term used to describe the wide variety of living organisms and ecosystems found on Earth. Biodiversity is the extremely complex unification of innumerable species of flora, fauna and microbes that exist into one environmental system, and is the foundation for life on Earth, which is exactly why preserving biodiversity is important.



"Biodiversity is the totality of all inherited variation in the life forms of Earth, of which we are one species. We study and save it to our great benefit. We ignore and degrade it to our great peril."

--E.O. Wilson ('Father of Sociobiology')

The conservation of biodiversity is of global importance, the 22nd May marks International Biodiversity day, first declared by the UN in
1993. Conservation of biodiversity is important for many ecological, economical and spiritual reasons. A diverse ecosystem means a productive ecosystem, as each small part that makes up the larger whole plays a vital and important part in keeping the machine functioning. With millions of species in the world, biodiversity is one of our biggest economic resources for medicine, food and natural materials, as well as flora helping to absorb greenhouse gases and the natural beauty of biodiversity for pure enjoyment. With so many species still undiscovered there is a strong anthropologic argument for preserving biodiversity as it could still hold the discovery to cures for the many illness and diseases we suffer. A healthy and diverse ecosystem is also a lot more likely to withstand and recover quicker from natural disasters, and equally helps to stabilize Earth's climate.

Answer 2

Saving is not just a simple thing, it also means that the resources are limited and hence one needs to use it wisely. It also shows how important the resource is. Saving also gives an overview of the resource that if it gets extinct then there are chances that the people may fall short of it. When it comes to the notion of producing things, it becomes clear that this requires a great deal of work behind producing one thing. In case of producing things, again and again, one can give his support in saving it. This may help both the producer and the goods to maintain their stability.
