High Biodiversity means that the ecosystem will be stable - species are less dependant on a each other multiple streams of dependencies.
Many human activities reduce biodiversity.
Destruction of Peat Bogs
- Peat is a material that forms when plant material has not fully decayed and there is not enough oxygen.
- It accumulates in acidic waterlogged bogs.
- Habitat for many species
- They are destroyed for space for farming, used as Compost or fuel.
- Being used up quicker than replaced.
- Decaying or burning peat releases
.
Maintaining Biodiversity
- Breeding Programs
- Protection of rare habitats
- Reintroduction of hedgerows/field margins around single crop farmland. .Allows habitat form lots organisms as single crop cant support many.
- Reduction of deforestation
- Recycling.
