INTRODUCTION TO BIODIVERSITY
Biodiversity is defined as the variability among living species on Earth including marine, terrestrial, aquatic ecosystem and also flora and
fauna in the rainforest.
It is important in conserving the global biodiversity for sustaining human life in local and even in the global levels. We are depending on
healthy functionality of other life form to get foods supply, fresh water and also the healthy environment
Therefore, there are important for us in preserving and conserving the biodiversity and together solving the issues that related that may harm the
biodiversity such as over fishing, poaching, deforestation and etc.

INTRODUCTION TO MARINE BIODIVERSITY
 "biological diversity" means the variability among living organisms from all sources including
inter alia, terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of
which they are includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems.
Ecosystems GenesSpeciesCommunities

 In this case, the most important sources of animal proteins for human use is
marine fish.
 In most countries, marine fishery is also one of the important industry.
 Fifty years ago, many people believed that the ocean was so huge and so
resilient that there was no way the marine environment could be changed, nor
could marine fishery resources be depleted.
 Half a century later, a lot of people agreed that the depletion of fishery
resources is happening mainly due to many factors such as overfishing,
habitat destruction, pollution, invasive species introduction, and climate
change.
 Since overfishing can cause chain reactions that decrease marine biodiversity
drastically, there will be no seafood left after 40 years if we take no action.
 So, in this case, we want to focus only on overfishing.

Effects of Overfishing to Others
Losses of fish stocks will give impact to the price of
fish which are already rising in response to demand
and it also will increase the costs of fishing.
Fishing for people across the globe is not just as a
source of food, it is their way of life and how they
support themselves and their family.
Loss of
food
sources
Loss of
livelihood

If overfishing continues, more species will
be driven to extinction and aquatic
ecosystems will collapse.
By catch from long lining, bottom trawling
and other fishing techniques will kill
numbers of non-targeted fish. For
examples are sea turtles, seabirds and
marine mammals such as dolphins, seals,
manatees and sea lions are all being
caught unintentionally and often are
discarded.

What Taiwan Have Done
 Building excellent environment of fishing grounds, for
restocking fisheries resources
o Deployment of artificial reefs
In order to improve the environment of fishing grounds, and
restock fisheries resources, artificial reefs were deployed in 88
localities with sinking of cement reefs, electricity wire pole
reefs, steel and iron reefs, vessel reefs and naval ship reefs.

o Release of fish fry
Healthy fish seeds are produced in hatchery and released to the sea for restocking of fisheries
resources.
Concurrently, approximately 10 million fries are released annually, with main species including
threadfin fish, sand snapper, seabreams, snappers, groupers, etc.

 Conservation of fisheries resources, and sustainable fisheries operations
o Establishment of marine protected areas
 For the protection of marine biodiversity, and for the conservation, management and sustainable
use of fisheries resources, marine protected areas, which cover an area of 30,579.42 sq. km,
have been delineated. They account for 47% of the territorial waters in Taiwan.
o Conservation and Management of Shark Resources
 To ensure sustainable use of shark resources, and to meet the requirements of shark
conservation and management, the government has been actively promoting the measure of
“shark’s fins naturally attached”, and publicize regulations on imports of shark’s fins, requiring
fishing vessels and importers to observe.

What Malaysia Have Done
Ministry of Agriculture and Agro-based Industry
(MOA) and the Department of Fisheries
Malaysia (DOF) had decided to ban trawling.
Marine police detained the Vietnamese fishermen for illegally
fishing in Malaysian waters at Pulau Tinggi, Mersing.

 WWF is working with partners in Malaysia to develop a marine conservation plan
in 3 areas:
1) The east coast of Sabah, Borneo in a part of the Sulu-Sulawesi marine eco region and
the Coral Triangle.
2) The Strait of Malacca on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia, which forms the
southern part of the Andaman Sea.
3) The South China Sea on Peninsular Malaysia’s east coast.

1. Energy security: to support carbon sequestration, they needs support for developing
energy resources, particularly liquid natural gas and renewable energy and research.
2. Food security: to improve management of wild-catch fisheries, they needs a research to
support a booming aquaculture industry, as well as data and tools.
3. Biodiversity conservation and ecosystem health: to predict impacts of development
on marine biodiversity, they needs environmental baselines, effective indicators of
ecosystem health to guides national marine environmental monitoring, and tools.
4. Dealing with changing climate: needs to understand and have a skill in prediction of the
impacts of sea level rise, increasing sea temperature and ocean acidification and the role
of the ocean as a carbon sink.

Solutions to Overfishing Problems

Working with
Governments
• The lack of regulations and specific policy, and the fact that fishing
has been an industry tied to the history of humans and civilization,
many groups, like the World Wildlife Fund, are helping countries
learn to prepare adequate and effective management protocols.
Helping
Developing
Countries
• Because fishing is a crucial industry in many poor and developing
nations, conservation efforts are focusing on helping these areas
set-up procedures to ensure sustainability in the long run.
Educating
Retailers
• Another way that conservationists are trying to change the
problem of overfishing is by working with retailers to educate
them on ways to purchase their seafood from sustainable fisheries.

Reducing
Subsidies
• Many governments subsidize the fishing industry with subsidies, in an
effort to keep the industry thriving. The problem with this, is that it
incentivizes fishermen to continue to expand, which means that
subsidies only end up contributing to the problem of overfishing.
More Protected
Marine Areas
• Setting up more protected areas in the ocean is an effort to help
reduce the effects of overfishing on some of the world’s most
incredible reefs and marine structures.

Potential Un-ethical Problems and How to Overcome it
DO’s DON’Ts
 Eat Less Fish - Reducing seafood consumption can
help to lessen the impact on our oceans.
 Avoid top predators like sharks, swordfish and
Bluefin tuna.
 Know your fish facts - Become familiar with
sustainable choices and species of concern.
 Carry the Seafood Watch card in your wallet and
use it.
 Buy Local – When possible purchase seafood from
local fishing communities. Fishing sustainably is
hard work. Support fishermen taking bold steps to
conserve our fish while maintaining their livelihood.
 Unsustainable Fishing - This involves using nets,
fishing methods and other equipment that catch too
much fish to a degree that they are endangered.
 Overcapacity - All over the world, many fishing
industries have huge vessels, equipment and
technology that they can deploy deep into the
oceans.
 Economic and Food Needs – As the humans have
multiplied, so the need for food and fish has also
multiplied. This, together with economic ambitions
of fisheries have forced them to catch more fish.

Introduction to Rainforest Plant
 Rainforests are the heart of biodiversity among the world's ecosystems. Plants is the habitat of a
site, providing structure, shelter and food that contributing to overall biodiversity.
 There are many types of plants including:
Flowering plant Gymnosperms Bryophytes
Scadoxus Cinnobarinus

The statistic of deforestation in the world
• Nowadays, our rainforest are threatened
due to human activities. The irresponsible
person had done a lot destruction to the
rainforest aiming for high profit without
thinking the consequences.
• In Malaysia, especially in Borneo and also
peninsular land, suffers from a high rate of
deforestation. The major reasons for
deforestation in Malaysia are for oil palm
plantation, logging and mining, forest fire
and also tourism.
http://homeguides.sfgate.com/major-reasons-deforestation-malaysia-78510.html

Effect of Deforestation
 Affecting the habitat of animals and plants
As we know 80% of animal and plants live in the forest and it will not survive
and no where to-live if we are continuing destroys their homes.
 Extreme temperature
The forest act like the canopy, which blocks the sun’s rays during the day and
holds in heat at night. If we continue to disrupt the forest this will contribute in
increasing temperature and global warming.
 Less oxygen produced
Less oxygen produced that will harm the animals and human being because we
need the oxygen to live.

 Loss food sources
The animals that eat plants will loss their sources of the food and will interrupt the food chain.
 Impacting pharmaceutical industry
We will lose some potential drugs that can be extracted from rainforest that will be used for
fighting and curing multiple diseases.

Other harmful effect:
 Release of greenhouse gas emissions
According to Tony Johnson, 30 percent of global greenhouse-gas
emissions each year is due to the loss of forests and causes the
increase of global warming.
 Disrupted water cycle
Forests transport large quantities of water into the atmosphere via
plant transpiration. This replenishes the clouds and instigates rain
that maintains the forests. When deforestation occurs, precious
rain is lost from the area, flowing away as river water and causing
permanent drying.
 Increased soil erosion
Due to deforestation it will increase the probability of landslide to
be happened like we can see in the development area there is a
case of landslide.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodiversity_loss

Solution in Conserving The Plant
Biodiversity Done in Malaysia
 In Malaysia, the World Wide Fund for Nature’s (WWF) had
taking the initiative starting in 2015 for overcoming the
deforestation that focus in Sabah and Sarawak. They are
cooperating with Sabah and Sarawak state governments
because there are 80% of the rainforest in Malaysian Borneo
had destroyed due to logging activities.
Reducing deforestation in Malaysia’s Bornean states of Sarawak & Sabah.
Retrieved from http://www.wwf.org.my/media_and_information/updates__former_newsroom_main_/?uNewsID=19485

The initiatives that been implemented
including:
 Enhancing protected areas, conservation spatial planning, responsible forestry and
forest certification which could reduce deforestation rate and create a balance
between development and conservation.
 Introduce Systematic Conservation Planning that produce maps showing areas for
priority conservation.
 Sarawak must ensure that the Totally Protected Areas and Permanent Forest Estates
are managed properly and sustainably
 Gazetting new areas as protection forest reserves in November 2014
 Provides technical support to forest reserves undergoing certification for responsible
forest management following the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) standards.
 Assisting Sabah Government towards Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest
Degradation (REDD+) so that the avoidance of deforestation, sustainable forest
management and forest restoration achieved by the government and other forest
license holders can be financially rewarded.

Solution in Conserving The Plant
Biodiversity Done in Brazil
In Brazil, they are success in reducing the deforestation.
Data from 2009–2010 showed that Brazil’s area of deforestation,
which averaged 19,508 square kilometers (km2) per year in 1996
until 2005 had succeed to drop by 67 percent, to just 6,451 km2.
By using a formula for converting deforested area to CO2 emissions
based on the work of the research institute IMAZON, estimated a
reduction in Brazil’s global warming pollution of nearly 1 billion
tons.
Brazil's Success in Reducing Deforestation. Retrieved from http://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/solutions/stop-deforestation/brazils-reduction-deforestation.html#.WelUu1uCzIU

How Brazil do it?
 Both state and federal levels expanded its network of indigenous reserves and
protected areas.
 The government have introduce the strong enforcement of logging laws, including
seizures of illegal timber, closing of illegal sawmills, and jailing of the perpetrators
(including government officials who had been taking bribes to look the other way)
 Launching The Zero Deforestation campaign
 Brazil’s citizens played a critical role in pushing their government to go further
and in exerting pressure for change on the businesses that are the main agents of
deforestation
 Brazilian NGO’s campaign for soybean and beef industries should not sell products
raised on deforested land
 Research institutes such as IPAM and IMAZON have been important in monitoring
progress and showing how ranchers, farmers, and loggers can increase their
productivity in ways that make deforestation unnecessary.
Brazil's Success in Reducing Deforestation. Retrieved from http://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/solutions/stop-deforestation/brazils-reduction-deforestation.html#.WelUu1uCzIU

The Challenges
 Need large amount of money for setting up the agency and an independent
institution for monitoring emissions from forests
 It is difficult in reducing the deforestation while growing up the economy
 Special interests and corruption among the responsible person
 Lack of coordination from government
 Loose of law enforcement
 Mindset of people

Other suggestion in conserving plant biodiversity
Plant a tree Go paperless
Applying 3R : reduce, reuse and recycle Buy sustainably certified wood products

Do and Don’t
DO DON’T
Practice 3R’s concept (reduce, reuse and recycle)
starting at home
Assuming 3R’s is not important
Minimizing waste Buying a lot of unnecessary thing and harm to
environment
Minimize the used of paper because nowadays a lot
of development of technology can be used in
replacing paper e.g. WhatsApp Application
Using paper as source of communication
Buy sustainably certified wood products Use furniture without checking the certified wood
products
Avoiding open burning because it can cause big fire
to nearest forest if not controlled properly
Doing the open burning
Enforce the law against the illegal logging and
mining buy giving the appropriate penalties
Tolerable with illegal logging and mining i.e.
corruption

 Biodiversity makes lives more credible and desirable.
There are too many species arise on our earth.
 Based on specialist, there are about 10 million to 80
million species arise on earth but only manage to attain
about 1.4 million species so far.

Loss of biodiversity of
animals is continuing
and became more
serious nowadays.
Population of human,
strong competition of
consumerism and
urbanization are
common aspect to be
considered in
enhancing
environmental
problems and to verify
the potential of life on
earth.

 The crime (illegal wildlife trade) became worst from times
to times. People rushed hunting or seizing of wild
animals.
 It can be considered as a threat to animals population as
it can affect biodiversity not even to wildlife but also
plants. Then, ecosystem will be bothered when species
in danger.

Causes of poaching:
 Bush meat: usually animal that rarely be found (mammals
or birds). This kind of animals is protected under law. The
poachers hunt for consumption and even for profit.
 Poverty: usually done by rural poachers that seeks for a
better life by violating law and nature.
 Wealth: wildlife is part of high demand product. Their skins,
trunks, ivory and etc. can make a quality product and even
some people used them as symbols of status and wealth.

 Increasing in human population
effect biodiversity in many ways.
For instance, the need of residence
development will cause the need of
new dam for electricity propose
thus cause destruction of flora and
fauna.
 Loss of forest by means due to
deforestation for any development
purposes has been widespread up
until now, yet give impact to
distribution of biodiversity of fauna
and flora. When the forest damage,
the wildlife species is in danger
because their habitat is disturbed.

It need to be well designed and
effectively managed.
• Include enforcement measures and
considered impact on biodiversity.
• Take the issues related to rainforest’s
animal into national level.
• Provide incentives to sustain rainforest’s
animal.

COST
 Lack of budget laid for sustainability
of animal biodiversity.
HUMAN TOLERANCE
 Some might be support that the wildlife has
right to exist but some might oppose it.
Most of wildlife provide economic and
ecological services that human valued.
 Carnivores shows a huge reduction over
times. It is due to no tolerance towards
them. Human hunt for their skins, trunks
and many more that will cause harm to
them and at the same time, these
carnivores looses their preys (herbivores)
also due to human greed.
CLIMATE CHANGE
 Climate change can gives impact to
certain species, causing them in
danger.
 Continuing global warming will affect
in change of rainfall pattern. It can
cause lost in habitat if forest cannot
be maintained.
LAWS AND REGULATION
 Lack serious action towards
poachers.

DO’S
 Redesign habitat and corridors
for wildlife suitable with their
flexibility.
 On going improvise

 Enhance law and regulation
related to wildlife. Gives a
serious penalties towards
poachers; no warning needed.
 Promote tourism so that
