Abstract: This research aims to construct a theological foundation on biodiversity as a guide used to defend biodiversity sustainability. The method used is literature study that focuses on three things, namely biodiversity crisis and forests as a home for biodiversity (land), the voice of the Bible on biodiversity and its relationship with humans, and the importance of the fight for biodiversity sustainability. The condition of biodiversity is critical. Meanwhile, the Bible emphasizes that biodiversity is a creation that is highly valued and blessed by God. In addition, humans are God's co-cr

Abstract:
Indonesia is one of the countries experiencing a decline in biodiversity due to climate change and human activities, whereas biodiversity has an important value to meet the basic needs of humans and other living things so it is very important to be preserved. Therefore, the awareness of each individual is needed to preserve biodiversity so that it remains sustainable so that the needs of life on earth remain stable. Knowledge that must be possessed by students on the topic of biodiversity include: the level of biodiversity, the role of biodiversity, actions that can reduce biodiversity and eff

Abstract:
Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth that underpins ecosystem services. The creation of that diversity came slow and hard: 3 billion years of evolution. Many species may have ecological functions man has not yet discovered. Does this fact entitle the society to discard seemingly useless parts? With a view to the oncoming changes such as climate change, the article admonishes the readers that the question should no longer be “how much biodiversity the society can afford”, but rather “whether the society can afford, not to conserve and enhance biodiversity as natural capital”.

Abstract:
Pricing and market exchange, we are now often told, are the only routes through which biological diversity can be saved. The objective of this dissertation is to examine the material-semiotic processes and networks by which a kind of ‘economized’, and even at times, ‘entrepreneurial nature’ comes to be. I ask: how did biodiversity become entangled in economic rationalities and market calculations? What are the circuits of knowledge and power producing biodiversity in this way? What calculative devices, methodologies and policies are created, or envisioned as necessary to make biodiversity cons

Biodiversity offsetting is a mechanism for providing physical compensation to redress losses to species and habitats caused by development projects. As offsetting becomes more widespread, so has the evolution and development of frameworks, tools and methodological approaches for assessing biodiversity and implementing offsets. In this context and with a specific focus on assessment methodology this research takes a scientific and pragmatic approach to bridge the gap between empirical approaches to biodiversity assessment and the practical, often subjective, methods used by practitioners.

To help to better understand these mechanisms, it proposes a taxonomy that divides the mechanisms into three categories: 1)

This module provides an introduction to biodiversity -- the variety of life on Earth, from genes to ecosystems, and the ecological and evolutionary processes that sustain it. Biodiversity is classified at many levels, from genetic diversity to species diversity to ecosystem diversity. Biodiversity is also mapped over ‘ecoregions,’ categorized based on climate, vegetation, and altitude. In relation, the study of biogeography looks at the distribution of organisms in space, and through time.
