For example, a large amount of plant species means a greater variety of crops. Biodiversity is important because it boosts ecosystems productivity ensuring that each species has their own role to play. The lower diversity the less natural sustainability for every life form.  
       Keystone species play major roles in biodiversity such as the Sumatran tiger. Sumatran tigers keep the food chain in check preventing over population of their pray.]]> 2020-04-03 08:39:58 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielgomez2/w4i3p1q4g0j2/wish/490534068 gabrielgomez2 https://padlet.com/gabrielgomez2/w4i3p1q4g0j2/wish/490565426 A 1978 there was around 1,000 Sumatran tigers still in the wild. This means over the last 25 years, the population of Sumatran tigers has been cut in half. They are now considered critically endangered. ]]> 2020-04-03 08:55:45 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielgomez2/w4i3p1q4g0j2/wish/490565426 gabrielgomez2 https://padlet.com/gabrielgomez2/w4i3p1q4g0j2/wish/490568754 The current number of Sumatran tigers are around 500-600 but some sources state there are less than 400.]]> 2020-04-03 08:57:25 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielgomez2/w4i3p1q4g0j2/wish/490568754 gabrielgomez2 https://padlet.com/gabrielgomez2/w4i3p1q4g0j2/wish/490575108 The Sumatran tigers decline has affected  the ecosystem because some species such as deer and boar are increasing in population. The overall affect on the ecosystem is population increase of the Sumatran tigers pray.
     Since the decline of tigers are causing other species to increase in population, none are decreasing or going extinct.]]> 2020-04-03 09:00:35 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielgomez2/w4i3p1q4g0j2/wish/490575108 gabrielgomez2 https://padlet.com/gabrielgomez2/w4i3p1q4g0j2/wish/490585792 Some policies that can be put into place to increase/improve the overall population of Sumatran tigers include, protecting their habitat, building captivity in ranged states, reduce human conflict, and monitor tiger numbers and population trends.]]> 2020-04-03 09:05:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielgomez2/w4i3p1q4g0j2/wish/490585792 gabrielgomez2 https://padlet.com/gabrielgomez2/w4i3p1q4g0j2/wish/490595707 Based on my action plans an expected population comeback I could predict would be 400 to 800 in 15 years. If this happened it would mean that the Sumatran tigers was at a pre-endangered state. 
     By increasing in population the Sumatran tigers pray with decrease. A sign that the ecosystem is back to a stable state with improved biodiversity is when there is a balance in number of each species. ]]> 2020-04-03 09:10:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielgomez2/w4i3p1q4g0j2/wish/490595707
