BIODIVERSITY AND THE HEALTHY SOCIETY ACTIVITY 1. Do you think the Earth can exist without human beings taking care of it? Yes, Earth will still exist because without human it will be still the same it is in its nature we humans need the earth as habitat so without us it’s just as it is and there are also other living things just like plants and animals who are also part or nature of the earth. Sometimes we humans are the also the reason why earth is being destroyed. We humans produce lots of pollution, trashes everywhere at cutting of tree. Some of us do not value the earth they just do whatever they wanted without thinking the effect on Earth. Just like power plants that destroys our ozone layer. We need earth to survive but maybe earth doesn’t need us humans to survive because earth can live with itself through the earth’s nature. 2. Does biodiversity need human beings for it to be in a continuous growing process? Biodiversity brings together the different species and forms of life just like us humans, biodiversity needs us because we play an important role just like any other living organisms. With us humans we can contribute to the continuous growing process of our biodiversity. 3. What are the ways that you think would promote the safekeeping of our biodiversity? There are lot of ways to protect or safekeeping of our biodiversity just like recycling and avoid to much usage of plastics that can cause pollutions. Also don’t use too much gas or fuels that can cause of destruction of our ozone layer. Also plant more trees and stop cutting tress. There are lot of ways but we humans should be knowledgeable with this kind of solutions and ways to protect our biodiversity. 4. What do you think are common human activities that can harm biodiversity? We humans have lots of activities and some of it affects our biodiversity. Just like cutting of trees that cause also the loss of habitat of some living organism. Also throwing of trashes everywhere. Power plant also can harm our biodiversity it can cause to pollution and destruction of our ozone layer that’s why in some part of the earth experience too much heat because our ozone layer is being affected by these kind of human activities. 5. What would be the consequences if these human activities will be stopped and prohibited? There will be lots of consequences some are not in favour of us humans but in favour of our biodiversity. Power plant can cause to the destruction of ozone layer so if it will be prohibited it will lessen the production of gas that can destroy our ozone layer but some human will also be affected, loss of jobs and maybe also to the decrease in production of economy. Also cutting trees affects our biodiversity so if it will be stopped it will be good for the nature but also will decrease the production in economy because we need trees to produce lots of product. But one solution cut trees but plant more trees. Our activities have always an effect to our biodiversity. We all just need to make control of it don’t abuse it because we humans will also be the one to suffer from the consequences.
