During the last century, human impacts on our planet have led to an increasing and alarming loss of biodiversity in rain forest ecosystems. Scientists estimate that current extinction rates exceed those of some prehistoric mass extinctions. This loss of biodiversity also means loss of genetic diversity and loss of ecosystems. What could be done to minimize this loss of biodiversity?
Select one:
a. Build barriers around rain forest ecosystems to keep animals and plants contained.
b. Write and pass new environmental protection laws specific to rain forest ecosystems.
c. Move all rain forest animals to new ecosystems where they will be safe.
d. Introduce new species to rain forest ecosystems.

Biodiversity can be define as the variety or variability in the forms of life exhibiting in a region of planet earth. Such a variability can measured at different levels such as ecosystem, species and genetic levels.

According to the given situation, the biodiversity in the rainforest can be lost due to human intervention. To reduce the human impact over the biodiversity of the rainforest ecosystem, strict environmental protection laws should be implemented. These laws will protect the rights of the animals to occupy a habitat without disturbance. These will also impose penalties over ill-legitimate activities like hunting, poaching and wildlife trafficking which may be potentially responsible loss of biodiversity from rainforest ecosystem.

On the basis of the above explanation, b. Write and pass new environmental protection laws specific to rain forest ecosystems. is the correct option.
