This assignment is based on Theme 5, ‘Actively engaging with our world’, of your study guide,
specifically Study Unit 19 within Theme 5. To orient yourself it is essential that you start off by
reading through this unit. However, you will not find the answers to the questions we are asking
here in that unit. In completing this assignment, you will have to conduct some academic research
and find additional information from the Internet or other reliable academic sources (DO NOT
USE WIKIPEDIA) in order to provide fuller answers and further perspectives about the particular
species you have chosen. The assignment focuses on the importance of maintaining biodiversity.
Biodiversity refers to the existence of a large number of species in the natural environment.
Biodiversity is under threat, however, because so many different kinds of animal species are
endangered as a result of human activities. This is important because ecosystems are healthier if
they consist of a balance between many different kinds of creatures, that is, if there is biodiversity.
Ecosystems need to be healthy because we depend on them for providing us with clean water and
clean air, as well as food and many other kinds of natural resources.
