摘要

人类是最近才来到地球的,也就是大约100万年前!但他一直在用他的知识和技术影响其他生物(生物多样性),这些生物经过6亿多年的发展。在这篇综述中,生物多样性的概念超越了植物、动物和微生物的物理/形态表现(即物种多样性),进一步从遗传、行为、生活史、生理和其他多样性方面进行了定义。本文从粮食生产、药物开发、取之不尽的遗传资源和生态系统服务的角度考察了生物多样性的本质,但遗憾地指出,人类利用生物多样性的方式是不可持续的。此外,它还强调了减少生态足迹(以及增加我们的手印)作为应对这一环境挑战的必要性。这篇论文的结论是,我们的星球生病了,随着生物贫困的开始,我们生存的基础正在受到破坏。因此,它建议我们每个人都应该开始使用我们的“治愈之手”来补偿我们已经或正在直接或间接地对生物多样性造成的损害。

BIODIVERSITY: OVEREXPLOITED BUT UNDERUTILIZED NATURAL RESOURCE FOR HUMAN EXISTENCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Man arrived on the planet earth only recently i.e. about 1 million years ago! but he has been using his knowledge and technology to impact on other living organisms (the biodiversity) that have taken more than 600 million years to develop. In this review, the concept of biodiversity is considered beyond the physical/morphological manifestation of plants, animals and the microbes (i.e. species diversity), and further defined in terms of genetic, behavioral, life-history, physiological and other diversities. The paper examines the essence of biodiversity from the perspectives of food production, drug development, inexhaustible genetic resources and ecosystem services but regrets to note the unsustainable manner of its exploitation by humans. Additionally, it highlights the necessity for reducing ecological footprints (and increasing our handprints) as a way out of this environmental challenge. The paper concludes that our planet is sick, and the basis of our existence is being undermined with the onset of biological poverty. It therefore recommends that everyone of us should begin to use our “healing hands” to compensate for the damage we have done or are doing directly or indirectly to biodiversity.
