As time goes by, the population of the people is constantly growing which has an inverse effect on other species and organisms. This effect can cause an imbalance to our ecosystem and disappearance of other organisms that will bring harm to everyone including the human. So, the current situation of our society and biodiversity should be taken into consideration by ensuring its sustainability with the help of your habits and daily practices.
We can start by never petting the animals who live in the wildlife. I know that animals are adorable and amusing, but we need to think of them as well by giving them a freedom to live naturally in their natural habitat. They also have their own life and must have a privilege to live freely. Petting them will not help the ecosystem because there is a chance of decreasing their lifespan since they cannot eat or do what they must be doing as an animal.
In addition, we need to be responsible in taking care of nature since it is irreplaceable, we cannot live without it but it can live without us. Since nature is the main source of everything in this world, taking care of it is a must and an obligation. We should never abuse the resources that we have. By this, we are helping the biodiversity and society for its recovery that was caused by our negligence in the past.
Above all, the most important is practicing humanity. Being a responsible citizen needs common sense, no need to teach them. We are humans and given a power to think higher than the other organism and we must use them accordingly.
Meanwhile, since the use of technology is limitless and almost everything is possible, people are becoming curious on our genetics which had been cause of having a genetic engineering where it creates change to the genes of an organism that can affect the good daily practices of an individual by damaging the natural species that may cause an abnormality to the ecosystem and biodiversity.
We talked about humanity but we did not respect the freedom of animals and other organisms that we have by creating changes to their body, specifically genes. It can also cause complications to the chain of biodiversity which is possible to affect everyone if it did not work according to the plan.
I believe that genetic engineering can bring us new discoveries that may be helpful in the future, but the chance of having negative outcomes is higher than the good ones. Furthermore, it can cause an abnormality to the way organisms live in the environment and the society.
Finally, I learned the importance of biodiversity and a healthy society not only in the current situation but also to the future generation. Since everything is interconnected to each other, the outcome of our negative actions will bring chaos to the future. Hence, considering our biodiversity and health, society is important to save everyone including other species and organisms.

I always say animals need to be in nature. That's where they belong to. That's where they live and not in houses and flats. A house cat for example is a bit different, but I would keep them outside most of the time.
