Human Benefits Of Bio-Diversity
Human Benefits Of Bio-Diversity
Human Benefits Of Bio-Diversity: Biodiversity helps maintaining the dynamic nature of ecosystem services including air quality, climate (e.g. Carbon Dioxide sequestration), water purification, pollination, and prevention of erosion, thereby creating optimum conditions for human's survival.
1. Agriculture: The variety of genetic traits present in wild varieties is extremely important in improving crop performance. Enhancements in crop species over the last 250 years have added to the resilience of the ecosystem. Human endeavours like Green Revolution, where crop breeding for beneficial traits were attempted, have helped to more than double crop production in the last 50 years. In contrast, unscientific agricultural practices like mono-culture have contributed to several agricultural disasters. Higher biodiversity is important as it limits the spread of infectious diseases because many different species act as buffers to them.
2. Human Health: Biodiversity's importance for human's health can be gauged from the growing concerns over the issue of global health implications of biodiversity loss. This issue is closely linked with the issue of climate change,as many of the anticipated health risks of climate change are associated with changes in biodiversity (eg. changes in populations and distribution of disease vectors, scarcity of fresh water, impacts on agricultural biodiversity and food resources etc). Our dietary health and nutrition security, infectious disease, medical science and medicinal resources, social and psychological health are some of the crucial issues influenced by biodiversity. Besides this, biodiversity is also known to have an important role in reducing disaster risk and in post-disaster relief and recovery efforts,The medicinal value of biodiversity is extremely high and useful, as it provides critical support for drug discovery and the availability of medicinal resources. Today, a significant proportion of drugs are derived directly or indirectly, from biological sources. Marine ecosystems, especially the corals, are particulary important, although inappropriate bio-prospecting can increase biodiversity loss, as well as violating the laws of the communities and states from which the resources are taken.
