Biodiversity

Significance and Management Approaches

The evolution of living creatures for billions of years has resulted in diverse forms of living creatures. The diversity of living creatures, including plants, animals, and microbes is connected in the ecosystem called “biodiversity”, which spreads all over the world. As for Thailand, which is situated near the equator, it is considered an area of high-level biodiversity. Therefore, Thailand is one of the areas with dispersion of multiple living creatures. The benefits of biodiversity are numerous, including ecosystem, consumption, agricultural produce, environmental quality, balanced condition of water cycles, and prevention of the loss of minerals and soil erosion. At present, all activities of production, construction, development, and consumption by people greatly impact biodiversity.
