Topics of this game:
-
It refers to the variety of life forms on Earth, including diversity within species, between species, and of ecosystems. It also includes the wide variety of plants, animals, and microorganisms as well as how they interact with one another and their surroundings.
-
It refers to the destruction, degradation, or fragmentation of natural habitats. It occurs when the natural environment where organisms live and depend on for survival is altered or eliminated due to human activities or natural events.
-
It refers to significant and long-term shifts in the Earth's climate patterns, including changes in temperature, precipitation, and weather events.
-
It refers to the introduction of harmful or undesirable substances into the environment, which can have adverse effects on living organisms and their surroundings.
-
This occurs when harmful gases, particulate matter, and other pollutants are released into the atmosphere.
-
It involves the contamination of water bodies such as rivers, lakes, oceans, and groundwater.
-
It occurs when pollutants accumulate in the soil, often as a result of industrial activities, improper waste disposal, and the use of pesticides and fertilizers in agriculture.
-
This type of pollution refers to excessive or disruptive noise that can interfere with human activities and cause annoyance or harm.
-
It occurs when artificial light sources, such as streetlights, outdoor advertising, and urban development, produce excessive or unnecessary illumination that disrupts natural light patterns.
-
These are non-native organisms that are introduced to a new environment, where they establish populations and spread rapidly, often causing harm to native ecosystems, species, and habitats. These species can include plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms.
-
It refers to the excessive use or extraction of natural resources beyond sustainable levels, leading to depletion or degradation of those resources and potentially harming ecosystems and biodiversity.
-
Identify what issue is being depicted: When fish stocks are harvested from the oceans or freshwater bodies at a rate faster than they can replenish through natural reproduction, leading to declines in fish populations.
-
The clearing of forests at a rate that exceeds their natural regeneration, often for purposes such as agriculture, logging, and urbanization.
-
This is particularly concerning for endangered species such as elephants, rhinos, and tigers, whose populations are threatened by illegal hunting and trafficking.
-
Activities such as mining, oil drilling, and extraction of groundwater can lead to overexploitation of natural resources, causing habitat destruction, pollution, and depletion of water and mineral reserves. What is being referred by this?
-
The expansion of cities and construction of infrastructure projects can result in the loss and fragmentation of natural habitats, leading to declines in biodiversity and ecosystem services.
-
Conserving biodiversity ensures the preservation of valuable genetic resources that can be used to enhance resilience, adaptability, and sustainability in various sectors.
-
Loss of biodiversity can disrupt natural processes, leading to reduced crop yields, increased reliance on synthetic pesticides, and decreased food security.
-
Biodiverse ecosystems such as wetlands, mangroves, and forests play a artificial percentage in filtering and purifying water, reducing the impacts of pollution and improving water quality.
-
Forests, wetlands, and other ecosystems with high levels of biodiversity are important carbon sinks, helping to mitigate climate change by oxygen and sunlight.
-
Species diversity ensures that ecosystems have redundant and complementary functions, making them more resistant to environmental changes and better able to recover from disturbances.
-
Diverse ecosystems are better able to withstand disturbances such as extreme weather events, invasive species, and diseases.
-
Protecting and restoring biodiversity is not only a moral imperative but also a practical necessity for ensuring the long-term health and resilience of ecosystems and societies.
-
It provide safe havens for endangered species, protect critical habitats, and allow ecosystems to thrive undisturbed.
-
This involves engaging local communities in natural resource management and empowering them to take ownership of conservation efforts. This approach recognizes the traditional knowledge and practices of indigenous peoples and local communities and involves them in decision-making processes.
