This introduction of pollutants is a consequence of activities or processes triggered by humans. In most cases, anthropogenic pollution reaches a great impact due to its frequency and magnitude. This makes the natural remedial mechanisms

The megadiverse countries are those with high levels of biodiversity. The first time the term was used was in 1997 in an investigation by researcher Russell Mittermeier. Mittermeier estimated the number of species of different taxonomic groups to establish the list of countries with the greatest diversity in the world. Subsequently, in 2002, the first

It is important to seek actions for the care of biodiversity  to avoid increased pollution, agricultural intensification, the low availability of nutrients and increased CO2 emissions, which are very harmful to planet Earth. The term biodiversity is used to describe the variety and population of non-human life on the planet. Global biodiversity is in decline, as
