Scientists believe they now have scientific evidence to prove that ecosystems work better when there is a greater variety of species within them This biodiversity is being lost destroying natural mechanisms that could repair the damage caused by man
Findings show that losing plants and animals is not only reducing our quality of life but actually endangering our very existence We cut down rich rain-forests and replace them with one species plantations, such as pine and eucalyptus We plough up meadows rich in different grasses and herbs and replace them with one grass, for instance rye or wheat
When a natural ecosystem is simplified the basic processes in the ecosystem are altered arid even damaged Without their biodiversity they are not able to serve as the natural cleaners of our planet No longer are they able
to absorb the carbon dioxide that is being produced in excess The result is global warming, caused by the increase in the "greenhouse effect", and ultimately, or even sooner, there will be a change in the wprld's climate

how to choose a career and how to succeed in it If you fail, however, you can buy the book How to Turn Failure into Success If you would like to become very rich, you can buy the book How to Make a Millionaire.
