Just as companies are starting to slowly incorporate global warming issues into their practices, what are we as individuals doing? Ever more urban, striding down the asphalt, we tend to consider biodiversity like a nice window to open every now and again with perhaps a touch of nostalgia. Humans are an integral part of biodiversity, just like any other of the planet’s species; we are closely tied to the biodiversity we spurn. It is up to us to manage biodiversity, our mother, and the other resources she affects.

The role of Bio-Diversity in the development and sustenance of Man kind is un disputable. We are not the one who own this planet, we share the planet with thousands of other species - we are rather the big brother of planet being the most intelligent stock. We have a responsibility to preserve the biodiversity. It is just not a moral responsibility , but also a responsibility for our own sake. We can never for see what abnormalities may arise in our climate, and how we are going to adopt it. If the gene pool is preserved, we can take the required genes (which are easily adapting to the abnormality) and mutate it with , so as to get over the abnormality.
We are just not predators or killers , we are humans and we have to do our duties to be called humans.
