Biology unit 6 pt. 6 the loss of biodiversity and conservation

H.I.P.P.O stands for 

H - habitat destruction

I - invasive species

P - Pollution

P - human overpopulation

O - overharvesting

Pollution causes Bio__________

\
Bio__magnification__

Biomagnification is when

certain toxins become stronger as they move up the food chain

Invasive species are non-native species that cause

ecosystem imbalance

The purpose of the ozone is to

block UV radiation

CFCs(Chlorofluorocarbons) cause the 

ozone layer to thin

Effects of the damaged ozone layer include

\- crop damages

\- skin cancer

\- eye damage

The Greenhouse effect is 

when energy absorbed by the earth radiates into the atmosphere to cause warming

The Carbon footprint is

the total carbon dioxide emissions produced by an individual, group, or location

The ecological footprint is

the impact of a person or community on the environment, expressed as the amount of land required to sustain their use of natural resources.

Conservation Biology is a science that seeks to 

counter the biodiversity crisis

Restoration Ecology is a science with the goal of 

restoring the Earth's natural habitat
