Ecosystem diversity consists of
the inhabiting species in all their variety and
richness. Many different species, gene-pool
abundance, and unique populations are what most
people think of when they hear the term
"biodiversity".

• Ecosystem structure

refers to the physical patterns of life forms

• Ecosystem functions

Ecological processes create landscapes and
diverse environmental conditions out of life
itself.

Why is biodiversity so important?
We could call it our 'life support system'.

How Do We Sustain and Preserve
20
Action for Biodiversity Sustenance

• Meeting the increasing demand for biological
  resources caused by population growth and
  increased consumption.
• Increasing our capacity to document and
  understand biodiversity, its value, and threats
  to it.
• Building adequate expertise and experience in
  biodiversity planning.
• Improving policies, legislation, guidelines, and
  fiscal measures for regulating the use of
  biodiversity.
• Adopting incentives to promote more sustainable
  forms of biodiversity use.

21

• Promoting trade rules and practices
• Strengthening coordination within governments,
• and between governments and stakeholders.
• Securing adequate financial resources
• Making better use of technology.
• Building political support Improving education
  and public awareness

22
The passage of the Earth's biodiversity through
the coming century will be its most severe test.
With human population expected to rise
dramatically, particularly in developing
countries, and the consumer revolution set for
exponential expansion - species and ecosystems
will face ever more serious threats. Unless we
take action now, children born today will live in
an impoverished world.
