摘要：Excessive exploitation of soil, water reserves and energy sources endanger our ability to produce food and other products that are essential for survival of humans, and irreversibly change the Earth as integral ecosystem. Sustainable development successfully connects determinants of economy, society and environment which correspond to institutional, political, legal and technological systems. Sustainable development is supported by three main factors: sustainable agriculture, improvement of social-economic relationships, and progress in technology. Biological diversity is basis for sustainable agriculture and imply three main categories: genetic diversity, species diversity and ecosystem diversity. Functional diversity is added to these three categories by some authors. Biodiversity provides a source of economic, aesthetic, health and cultural privileges. Global communication and exchange of goods have strong impact on biodiversity. Destruction of natural habitats due to urbanization and expansion of arable areas is just one cause of biodiversity reduction. Imperil of indigenous biodiversity is also result of migration of some species to other habitats as result of human activities as well as introduction of allochthonous species.
