HUMAN SURVIVAL AS A FUNCTION OF SPECIES BIODIVERSITY

Greetings and welcome dear readers who make life in this wonderful platform, the subject that concerns us this time, is associated with biodiversity and its importance for the human species, in such a way that we will make a conceptual approach to these variables that allows us to understand the dynamism of life on the planet.

At this point, we will make our conceptual approach focusing our attention on a common species "wild bees" which, according to scientific research, man's actions and daily activities could end. generated the sixth successive extinction, after more than 500 million years.

The warning focuses on the loss of biodiversity that increases dramatically, disrespect for planetary resources, climate change, among other aspects that sooner or later will be the triggers to eradicate life in the planet.

These statements are perhaps extreme, but if we continue with our irrational behavior we will end up developing irreparable damage that will threaten the survival of future generations and their ability to produce their own resources.

Now, beyond what we can know, there are species on the planet whose survival is mandatory, such is the case of wild bees and although they are not yet among the endangered species, a large percentage disappear every year Of the more than 20,000 species that inhabit the planet, perhaps for many this species is significant, but it is an agent that bases its actions on maintaining the eco-systemic balance that humans have fragmented.

To enter into context, it is necessary to understand that wild bees are different from honey bees that live in hives and are responsible for the production of honey, they base their existence on global pollination Thus, they do not sting, they do not produce honey, each individual produces its own nest and is responsible for transporting pollen from one flower to another with an efficiency that surpasses other known species.

The importance of the survival of the species focuses on the pollination process, which increases the efficiency and profitability of any type of crop, in fact scientists have verified that the presence of These bees increase the yield of crops such as apples, pears, tomatoes, vegetables, among others, beyond the fertilizers that can be used in this type of agricultural production system.

In such a way, human actions with the use of fertilizer, pesticide, together with environmental pollution, threaten wild bees, for which it is imperative to learn to know it, study its habitat, its evolution process as a measure to develop actions effective that allows us to protect this species so important for life and planetary balance.

Grateful with the community @project.hope and with all the management team of the same one that they motivate us to continue working in a mutual and balanced growth.
