Leigh Corner talks Biodiversity

Rhondda Sweetman from Plimmerton Rotary

Leigh Corner gave us his Viewpoint tonight. He asked, 'Why am I concerned with the decrease in biodiversity, not just in New Zealand but globally?' He then went on to explain that we are dependent on the biosphere, that is, all living things on earth, for our air, clean water, and the food we eat. There is a great diversity of species in the biosphere and they are found in a myriad of ecosystems. The stability of the biosphere and these ecosystems is contingent on the complexity that results from diversity. The greater the biodiversity, the healthier and more stable are the ecosystems. If there is a sudden change in the environment of the communities, the stability may change and the community may be destroyed.
