Sustainability in biodiversity is one of the types or forms of sustainability in the general sense. What is meant by sustainability in biodiversity is an attempt to preserve a variety of species, ecosystems and genetic changes that represent life and its forms on our planet, to ensure the well-being of current and future generations. To achieve this kind of sustainability requires the use of sustainable practices to create a balance between the needs of current and future generations, and thus a commitment to protecting and preserving biodiversity [1]. All of this requires sustainable biodiversity management and implementation . Multiple strategies, including preserving habitats, trying to restore degraded ecosystems, preventing the depletion of the Earth’s natural resources, respecting and imposing environmental limits. Biodiversity is a comprehensive term that includes the amazing diversity of life forms. One, and the basic interactions of ecosystems that contain these species from creation to the present day, but it is noticeable during this period that the rate of loss of biodiversity has become alarming, and this is due to a series of factors, including human activities and habitat destruction. The excessive use of the natural resources of the environment, the increase in pollution and its factors, in addition to climate change are all factors that contribute to the acceleration of the extinction of species and biodiversity at a rate that feels dangerous. and education on the concept of sustainability . One of the most important ways to improve and preserve ecosystems and biodiversity is [2].
Protect natural habitats. [3]. and the establishment of reserves to protect endangered species and ecosystems. [4] Promoting sustainable agriculture [5] Pollution reduction: Reducing pollution levels in air, water and soil to. [6] and promoting genetics and the use of genetic techniques to conserve and restore populations of endangered species. [7].
The most important step is to increase the cultural awareness of society members in general and those concerned with the issue of sustainability in particular. This is achieved in several ways through increasing courses and seminars, activating the role of organizations concerned and interested in sustainability, publishing posters and intensifying the role of audio-visual media.
