What I found interesting was the US was the only country that didn’t sign to the plan to protect ecosystems

I didn’t find anything that really stood out to me while reading the article. It just wasn’t as interesting or appealing as other articles we have read. I guess something that was surprising was how important it is that we preserve biodiversity and that we Can actually make money from it. That is what i thought about the article and what i found somewhat surprising.

What I found interesting or surprising was that how so much species weren’t discovered yet it says int the text”86% of land species and 91% of ocean species had yet to be discovered” this was interesting becuase I never thought there was this much species that hadn’t been discovered yet this is what I found interesting or surprising in the reading what is biodiversity

Something that I found interesting was the all of the reasons biodiversity could fall part is because of us.

I didn’t find any thing surprising, confusing or interesting because it seemed similar to the other article.

I found nothing surprising, interesting or confusing in the article. I didn’t really find the article interesting and it was sort of boring. I definitely liked the Charles Darwin one better.

I found interesting that the text says how we are responsible for what’s happening in our world in page 4 it saids “ Habitat destruction makes an area unlivable for plants and animals. Humans clear land for housing, for instance, and farmland to feed the worlds growing population. Vast areas of farmland are obtained by clear cutting areas of great biodiversity, such as the Amazon rain forest”.

I found it interesting that the more biodiversity we have the more likely we are to survive, because more different species can give us more food, and also different sources of food. This could be a good way to keep a good source of food for people to eat.

Based on my reading on “What is Biodiversity” what I found surprising is how many people are cutting down trees in the rainforest and their polluting it. And that’s dangerous for animals and there homes are being destroyed.

Based on my reading of, “What is biodiversity” what I found interesting, surprising, or confusing is that most scientist and people had not discovered 86% of land animals and 91% ocean animals have not been discovered for instance the text states, “scientist estimated eight point seven million species of living things inhabited the planet; of these, 86 percent of land species and 91 percent of ocean species had yet to be discovered”.

What I found surprising was that animals are dying off at an alarming rate which is 1000 to 10,000 times faster than normal. I found this surprising because the main cause of these animals are dying and becoming extinct is all because of human action.

Based on the reading of the text “What is biodiversity?” I found interesting how Edward O Wilson compared biodiversity as a insurance company. This was a good example of how “ the more species it has, the more likely to survive different threats.” This is interesting because, he compared how the insurance can have a negative affect on you if you don’t follow there policy and just like the species they can survive the threat of our world if there are more species of animals.

Based on the reading of What is Biodiversity I found it surprising that it says “They are dying off at an alarming rate which is 1000 to 10000 times faster than Normal.” I found this surprising because before it was way less and now it’s at 1000 to 10000 and also because the major reasons include human actions.

I found suprising how there are so many ways that we are destroying the environment and that once biodiversity is gone nature will be hard to maintain. The five threats to biodiversity are
* habitat destruction
*climate change
*invasive species
*overexploitation
*pollution
All of these threats are caused be people. I think that it is suprising because I thought that there would have been at least one nartural problem that is not caused by people. I also found it suprising how there are so many different ways that we are distracting the environment. I think that people will need to make a change about this. I also found it suprising how so many speices are going extinct. Animals are dying off at an alarming rate, which is 1,000 to 10,000 times faster than they used to. I mean, if you take a walk in the woods, you would think that there is plenty of space and the sight of nature is beautiful. I never realized how much people are doing to destroy the environment. I knew that pollution was a big problem, but now I know that people need to change their ideas and come up with a knew way to save nature. It also shocked me how the United States was the only country that did not sign the contract to save biodiversity.

Biodiversity is when there is different species of animals in one environment. What I found interesting is that a animal with more genetic diversity is more likely to survive. What I found surprising was that 65 million years ago 3/4 of animal species went extinct.

Biodiversity is the wide variety of life on the planet at least that is what it refers to. Scientist think differently about biodiversity, they think about it in the ways, the plant and animal life in an area, the genetic variation within a species and the numbers of different ecosystems in a region.

Something that I found surprising is that species are dying off because of human actions. On page 3 of the text, the article states “Today, scientists estimate the same proportion of species are going extinct becuse of human actions. They are dying of at an alarming rate, which is 1,000 to 10,000 times faster than normal.” This can show that humans are making animal species go extinct because of what we are doing to the environment and how we are treating it. Therefore, what I found surprising in the text that we read was how much humans are killing off the environment.
