Calculate Net productivity

NPP = GPP - R

Captive breeding

Taking endangered species and breeding them to send them back out

Evolutionary District and Globally Endangered species program (EDGE)

Raise funds and awareness for conservation of endangered species

grosss productivity formula

GPP= NPP + R

Benefits from Biodiversity

Biodiversity is an essential ecosystem service neccessary for an ecosystems stability

biodiversity loss & eco stability

undermines an ecosystem making it less resiliant and more suseptable to disturbances because fewer species reduce an ecosystem's ability to function and recover
