Biodiversity loss has become one of the most pressing environmental issues, threatening not
only species but also the essential ecosystem services that support human well-being.
Ecosystem services—such as food, water, climate regulation, and disease control—are
largely dependent on the health of biodiversity. This paper explores the relationship between
biodiversity loss and the degradation of ecosystem services. Drawing on current scientific
literature, it discusses how the loss of species and genetic diversity can diminish ecosystem
functions, lead to ecosystem instability, and ultimately undermine the services humans
depend on. Furthermore, the paper explores potential solutions to mitigate biodiversity loss
and maintain ecosystem services, with an emphasis on conservation strategies and
sustainable management practices.
