Humans reduce diversity through a number of ways. First and foremost, the blatant destruction of habitats such as the deforestation of rainforests can reduce the number of species in an environment, but also reduce the number of potential mates, cutting genes available in the gene pool, reducing biodiversity. This can also be caused by over-hunting, polluting water supplies and removing food sources in the area, meaning more animals will die.
Not in an ecosystem, however, we reduce diversity through things like selective breeding. For example the pedigree breeding of dogs has led to a tiny gene pool for each breed resulting in a lot of inbreeding. The same is with cattle as farmers try to make the best cattle they can.

Is biodiversity genetic biodiversity?
Biodiveristy includes genetic diversity. It also includes the diversity of species and of ecosystems. In other words, biodiversity is the diversity of life.
Why is diversity is important for ecosystem?
diversity is important in ecosystems because if there wasn't some animals, other animals would die.
Are diverse ecosystems more stable?
yes, more diversity = more stability
What are ecosystems manged by humans called?
Bears.
What is an ecosystem diversity?

How does ecosystem stability relate to species diversities?
stable ecosystems have greater diversity(novanet)

Why is it important to preserve species?
It is important for diversity among ecosystems to conserve rare breeds that are currently in danger of becoming extinct. Most animals are endanger because of humans therefor it is the responsibility of humans to try to conserve the species.
Are diverse ecosystems more stable?
