Biodiversity and Biomedicine: Our Future provides a new outlook on
Earth's animal, plant, and fungi species as vital sources for human
health treatments. While there are over 10 million various species
on the planet, only 2 million have been discovered and named. This
book identifies modern ways to incorporate Earth's species into
biomedical practices and emphasizes the need for biodiversity
conservation. Written by leading biodiversity and biomedical
experts, the book begins with new insights on the benefits of
biologically active compounds found in fungi and plants, including
a chapter on the use of wild fruits as a treatment option. The book
goes on to discuss the roles of animals, such as amphibians and
reptiles, and how the threatened presence of these species must be
reversed to conserve biodiversity. It also discusses marine
organisms, including plants, animals, and microbes, as essential in
contributing to human health. Biodiversity and Biomedicine: Our
Future is a vital source for researchers and practitioners
specializing in biodiversity and conservation studies. Students in
natural medicine and biological conservation will also find this
useful to learn of the world's most bio-rich communities and the
molecular diversity of various species.
