Abstract
A 11 ecosystems and human 50- cieties depend on a healthy and productive natural environment that contains diverse plant and anima!species.The earth's biota is composed of an estimated 10 million species of plants, animals, and microhes (Pimm er a1.1995).In the United Stares, thefe are an estimated 750,000 species, of which small organisms, such as arthropods and microbes, make up 95%.1 Although approximately 60% of the world's food supply comes frorn riee, wheat, and carn (Wilson 1988), as many as 20,000 ather plant species have been used by humans as food.Some plants and animals provide humans wirh essential medicines and orher diverse, useful products.For instance, some plants and microbes help to degrade chemical pollutants and organic wastes and recycle nutrients through~ out the ecosystem.The rapidly growing world population and increased human activity threaten many of these species.The current extinction rate of species ranges from approximately 1000 to 10,000 times higher than natural extinction rates (Kellert and Wilson
