Global Biodiversity Loss
The Risks on Sustainability

Science / Life Sciences / Ecology
This book examines the pressing issue of biodiversity decline and its far-reaching implications for sustainable development. It brings together leading experts to examine the causes, impacts, and solutions to one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time.
Across 38 chapters, the book explores key drivers of biodiversity loss, including deforestation, climate change, land-use change, pollution, habitat degradation, and unsustainable resource use. It presents global case studies, innovative technologies, ecosystem restoration strategies, and community-based conservation approaches that support sustainable development.
Covering diverse ecosystems and regions, the volume highlights how biodiversity loss affects climate resilience, food security, ecosystem services, livelihoods, and environmental governance. Combining scientific evidence with practical solutions, this book serves as both a warning and a roadmap for action.
An essential resource for researchers, policymakers, practitioners, educators, and all who are committed to safeguarding life on Earth and building a sustainable future.
Mohd Nazip Suratman is an Honorary Professor of Forest Resources Management at the Faculty of Applied Sciences and a Principal Fellow at the Institute for Biodiversity and Sustainable Development (IBSD), Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Malaysia. He previously served as Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research and Innovation) at UiTM, where he strengthened research, innovation, and international collaboration. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia, Canada, with specialization in remote sensing for sustainable forest resource management. His research interests include forest ecology, biodiversity conservation, forest modelling, and geospatial applications in tropical forest management. Professor Suratman has authored and co-authored over 200 scientific publications and more than 18 books, contributing significantly to advancing knowledge on biodiversity loss, climate change, and ecosystem sustainability. He is actively involved in international research collaborations and continues to contribute to policy-relevant research and capacity building in sustainable natural resource management, particularly in tropical ecosystems.
Bogdan M. Strimbu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Forest Engineering, Resources and Management at Oregon State University, USA. He holds a Ph.D. in Forest Management from the University of British Columbia, Canada, and a MS in Mathematics and Statistics from Louisiana Tech University, USA. His research focuses on forest biometrics, landscape modelling, and algorithms development for remote sensing data, specifically terrestrial and unmanned aerial systems LiDAR. Dr. Strimbu has contributed extensively to forest science through publications in leading journals and active engagement in international research initiatives. His work integrates mathematical modelling with practical forest management, supporting sustainable decision-making in the context of biodiversity conservation, ecosystem resilience (i.e., wildfire), and forest aesthetics.
Faezah Pardi is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Applied Sciences, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Malaysia, and a Deputy Director of the Institute for Biodiversity and Sustainable Development (IBSD). She holds a Ph.D. in Biology and a Master’s degree in Conservation Biology from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). Her research focuses on forest ecology, biodiversity conservation, and ecosystem dynamics, with particular emphasis on tropical forest systems and the impacts of environmental change on species composition and ecosystem health. She has contributed to numerous scientific publications addressing floristic diversity, forest structure, and conservation strategies in Malaysia’s ecosystems. Dr. Pardi is actively involved in interdisciplinary research initiatives aligned with sustainable development goals, particularly in advancing knowledge on biodiversity conservation and ecosystem sustainability. She continues to contribute to academic leadership, research collaboration, and capacity building in the field of biodiversity and environmental management at national and international levels.
Nur Nadiah Md Yusof is a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Applied Sciences, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Malaysia. She holds a Ph.D. in Applied Ethology from the University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom, as well as a Master’s degree in Applied Animal Behaviour and Animal Welfare from the same institution, and a Bachelor’s degree in Ecology and Biodiversity from Universiti Malaya. Her research focuses on animal behaviour, wildlife conservation, and animal welfare, with particular emphasis on stress physiology and biodiversity conservation in tropical ecosystems. She is actively involved in teaching and academic development, contributing to courses in animal behaviour, biodiversity, and experimental biology. Dr. Md Yusof has contributed to advancing knowledge in biodiversity and conservation science through research, teaching, and collaborative initiatives. Her work supports sustainable ecosystem management and aligns global efforts to address biodiversity loss and environmental challenges.
