[Solved] Environmental Conservation: Water, Water, Everywhere

Water Name Institution Water With the present scientific and technological development, environmental conservation is a key issue. People have forgotten the importance of the environment and they have neglected it. Environmental conservation is now viewed as a corporate responsibility rather than a personal. Human overpopulation, hydrology and land issues are some of the major issues affecting the environment. If this issues are not dealt with, they result to climate change, environmental degradation, war and pollution. Environmental conservation is very important in maintaining biodiversity. Biodiversity is a scientific term used to refer to the variety and variability of life on earth (Leveque, 2003). It is a vital component of nature and ensures survival of human species by providing food, shelter, medicine, fuel and other resources to man. The productivity of biodiversity is dependent on the climatic conditions of a given region. The rapid climatic changes have caused mass extinctions leading to a drop in biodiversity (Pereira, 2012). Increase in human activity and technological advancement has caused an ongoing diversity reduction and an accompanying loss of genetic diversity. The population growth model postulated by Thomas Malthus posits that the growth of the population is quite different from the growth of food supply due to the reduction of biodiversity (Paster, 2007).
