BIODIVERSITY

    Biological diversity or biodiversity is a term we use to describe the variety of life on Earth. It refers to the wide variety of ecosystems and living organisms: animals, plants, their habitats and their genes.
   Biodiversity is the foundation of life on Earth. It is crucial for the functioning of ecosystems which provide us with products and services without which we couldn’t live. Oxygen, food, fresh water, fertile soil, medicines, shelter, protection from storms and floods, stable climate and recreation - all have their source in nature and healthy ecosystems. But biodiversity gives us much more than this. We depend on it for our security and health; it strongly affects our social relations and gives us freedom and choice.

 

    Biodiversity is extremely complex, dynamic and varied like no other feature of the Earth. Its innumerable plants, animals and microbes physically and chemically unite the atmosphere (the mixture of gases around the Earth), geosphere (the solid part of the Earth), and hydrosphere (the Earth's water, ice and water vapour) into one environmental system which makes it possible for millions of species, including people, to exist.
At the same time, no other feature of the Earth has been so dramatically influenced by man’s activities. By changing biodiversity, we strongly affect human well-being and the well-being of every other living creature.

    Biodiversity is everywhere. It occurs both on land and in water, from high altitudes to deep ocean trenches and it includes all organisms, from microscopic bacteria to more complex plants. Although many tools and data sources have been developed, biodiversity remains difficult to measure precisely. According to the Millenium Ecosystem Assessment, the total number of species on Earth ranges from five to 30 million and only 1.7–2 million species have been formally identified.But we do not need precise figures and answers to devise an effective understanding of where biodiversity is, how it is changing over space and time, what are the drivers responsible for this change, its consequences for ecosystem services and human well-being, and the available response options.
.
    Unlike foods and other products that we buy in supermarkets, many ecosystem services have no price tag attached to them. This means that the importance of biodiversity and natural processes in providing benefits to people is ignored by financial markets. If the full economic value of these services was taken into account in decision-making, the degradation of ecosystem services could be significantly slowed down or even reversed.

   PROTECTING BIODIVERSITY IS PROTECTING OURSELVES FROM NATURE FURY

OVER EXPLOITATION IS A THREAT TO HOMOSAPIENS

         As per present accepted theory of "BIG BANG", the travails of this universe traces back to 13.7 billion years. Our solar system was formed around 4.6 billion years back and our planet "Earth" started it's journey around 4.56 billion years before.In this the crucial phase took place over 3.5 billion years back,the changes that had taken place on the earth led to the favorable conditions for the evolution of life and this evolution had been continuing and it will continue in future. During this crucial phase life has been taken many forms(plants and animals) and evolved into different species. Among the lakhs of different species the only one species which is ruling the entire life is homosapiens(humans). Humans originated around 2 lakh years back and the present modern man started his journey 50thousand years back. The driving force of almost all locomotive species is energy which is derived from food for which every species is dependent on other , this dependence is unavoidable as it is nature's adaptation and this dependence for food led to the rivalry between different species. During this course of evolution human became so intelligent, emerged as all the power and started ruling everything on the earth. The slow and steady growth of human civilization found many new inventions and these inventions shown many ways to manage the resources in effective way. But, man failed to utilize the positive sides of his inventions, he started over exploitation of everything and finally landed on the negative sides of his own inventions.

     
          Every species exploits the other species or it's own species and natural resources for the purpose of basic needs but man is the only animal who exploits for luxury and greed. The nature of greed and luxury motivated the man to commit many sins.In the course of satisfying his wants he started unbalanced exploitation of natural resources,unethical economic activities and immoral cultural practices. Due to the result of all these menaces, conflicts raised between human & environment, human & other species, and within humans.Now we are in the process of demolition of our life cycle which should be protected for the purpose of homosapiens existence.For this purpose we have only one option that is living in harmony with nature and establishing good and stable environment with cultural and economic practices. As per many theories the life span of our solar system and our earth has 5 more billion years. We should not end up our glory with our own intelligence.
                         

WHO REGULATES THE SOCIETY WELL ?

 In the society different kind of people are existed with different ideology. Over the last two years i have seen some well learned people and among them some people supports communism, some supports socialism and some supports capitalism and everyone have their strong reasons to support their view. Till now the world has seen all kind of systems and if we examine the each systems reign, we will understand that no system was successful up to optimum level and the system was fully influenced by the then contemporary ruler.

               The responsibility of any system is effective management of country's natural and human resources for the sake of whole the country. Inclusiveness and equality in economic, social, cultural activities are the primary goals.But, in the process of implementing these goals every system failed to curtail the greedy thoughts of the ruler.some people will claim communism gives good governance, but people are reluctant to accept the monopoly nature of government and it proved in the case of Russia and China(recently).some people say socialism benefits the society, but we are well experienced in our country how much it benefited us.Now we are seeing how capitalism is struggling itself in the hands of corporate people.

               In my point of view we require capitalism for production, socialism for policy making and communism for distribution. The synthesis of all these three systems will provide good governance when compared with individual systems.But, i know that the sole believers of these systems would not come together to build optimum solution. The conflicts in the ideology of different political groups is the prime reason for ruining of healthy political system.
