  1. Global Implications Of Biodiversity Loss

  2. INTRODUCTION BIODIVERSITY is the degree of variation of life forms within a given species, ecosystem, biome, or an entire planet.

  3. CAUSES • Human Population Growth • Habitat Destruction • Pollution • Agriculture • Global Warming

  4. CAUSES • Forest Fragmentation • Hunting, Fishing and Gathering

  5. MECHANISM Biodiversity loss emanated because of unsustainable human population growth that leads to: • greater demand of space, food and clothing • habitat encroachment • enormous consumption

  6. EFFECTS Biodiversity loss has an effect to: • Food Security • Health • Ecosystem Services • Source of Livelihood • Social Benefits

  7. IMPACTS • Economic • OceanEcosystem Services • Human Health - Nutritional Impact - Health Research and Traditional Medicine - Infectious Disease - Climate Change and Health

  8. MITIGATION • Protect full range of Biodiversity • Prevention and early intervention • Direct and Indirect drivers of Biodiversity loss must be addressed to better protect biodiversity and ecosystem services

  9. Philippine Biodiversity Laws REPUBLIC ACT NO. 7586 An act providing for the establishment and management of national integrated protected areas system, defining its scope and coverage, and for other purposes. Republic Act No. 8550 An act providing for the development, management and conservation of the fisheries and aquatic resources, integrating all laws pertinent thereto, and for other purposes.

  10. Philippine Biodiversity Laws REPUBLIC ACT NO. 9147 An act providing for the conservation and protection of wildlife resources and their habitats, appropriating funds therefor and for other purposes. REPUBLIC ACT NO. 90729135 An act to manage and protect caves and cave resources and for other purposes.

  11. Philippine Biodiversity Laws REPUBLIC ACT NO. 8371- The Indigenous Peoples Rights Act An act to recognize, protect and promote the rights of indigenous cultural communities/indigenous people, creating a national commission of indigenous people, establishing implementing mechanisms, appropriating funds therefor, and for other purposes.

  12. CONCLUSION Daily human activities and its rapid increase in number constitute to what is called biodiversity loss. As a result, many species die because of habitat encroachment. Nature, in turn, will no longer be able to meet the demands of humans as it has loss its natural balance.

  13. RECOMMENDATIONS People should: - think sustainable consumption - suitable laws and policies be strengthened - be informed about the benefits of conserving biodiversity
