This study is aimed at studying the importance of preserving biodiversity in the modern world, taking into account the impact of human civilization on ecosystems and their services. In addition, consideration of the use of biotechnologies and scientific methods for biodiversity conservation is the most important objective for understanding possible productive strategies for improving agricultural crops and conserving biodiversity in general. A study of forecasts and a multitude of approaches are important in understanding possible scenarios of global climate change and ways to combat the results, as well as in examining gaps in modern research. Economic development and the general welfare of mankind depend on the conservation of biodiversity, so this study is of great relevance.
The main question of the research is whether modern scientific approaches are appropriate political, financial and management frameworks in the global implementation of biodiversity conservation, and is there a global product planning for the start-up integration of human and ecological variables necessary for biodiversity conservation?The importance of this study is that the preservation of various types of ecosystems is currently a rather complex problem and the development of effective scientific methods and strategies is necessary for the conservation of ecosystems, the biosphere and human society as a whole. Mankind as a whole is part of the ecological system of the planet, and therefore the preservation of biodiversity is a cornerstone in the question of the future of the planet. This justifies the importance of the study in terms of a common understanding of the problem, as well as modern strategies and the identification of possible methods for its solution. The problem of this study may be that existing technologies, scientific approaches and economic strategies do not yet have a common basis, and there is no single global system for combating threats to biodiversity. Thus, the definition of a scientific method for innovative solutions for the conservation of biodiversity is the main for global research on this problem. Achieving the objectives of the research will help to understand the importance of developing scientific methods aimed at eradicating threats to biodiversity and restoring existing losses, and to see how various aspects, such as financial, cultural, economic, are interrelated in creating global biodiversity strategies in different regions.
Literature Review
This article reveals the notion of biodiversity and claims that one-third of global vegetation is under threat, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), while the cause is the destruction of ecosystems, pressure on agriculture and population growth (Pathak and Abido, 2014). The authors acknowledge that the conservation of biodiversity is a global problem requiring ex-situ and in-situ methods of long-term conservation of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) from member states (Pathak and Abido, 2014). The article proposes to consider biotechnological conservation methods as a way to fight ex-situ with the threat of conservation of plant biodiversity and indicates positive results of using plant biotechnology for the production of seeds.

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 363(1491), 477–494. This source argues that the land-use model of the last century damaged biodiversity and that science should use new, relevant methods and innovative practices that will allow for positive changes in ecosystem services and biodiversity (Scherr and McNeely, 2008). However, the authors of the paper acknowledge that new methods for conserving biodiversity include a multitude of aspects, such as a financial issue, a policy framework, eco-marketing planning on a global scale, and conclude that future research is necessary for the development of policies and strategies for environmental and agricultural activities (Scherr and McNeely , 2008). Bellard, C., Bertelsmeier, C., Leadley, P., Thuiller, W., & Courchamp, F. (2012). Impacts of climate change on the future of biodiversity. Ecology Letters, 15(4), 365–377. The authors of this article consider the impact of climate change on biodiversity threats in the future. Thus, this literature allows delving into the problem of preserving biodiversity from the point of view of the possible present and future impacts of climate change on ecosystems at different scales (Bellard et al., 2012). It is shown that the study of different models of threats to biodiversity can lead to negative indicators and even to the coefficient of extinction and mass extinction (Bellard et al., 2012). So, only large-scale general studies can outline the extent of possible biodiversity losses and develop a conservation strategy. Brooks, T. M., Mittermeier, R. A., da Fonseca, A. B., Gerlach, J., Hoffmann, M., Lamoreux, J. F., Mittermeier, C. G., Pilgrim, J. D., and Rodrigues, A. S. L. (2006). Global Biodiversity Conservation Priorities. Science, Vol.313. The source considers various methods and approaches to combat threats to biodiversity. There are nine modern methods of global priorities for biodiversity conservation planning (Brooks et al., 2006). The identification of priorities in indispensable regions contributes to the effective financing and effectiveness of conservation of biodiversity (Brooks et al., 2006). For example, scientific methods can be most effective with global support of resources in the neediest regions, however, methods for conserving biodiversity on a smaller scale remain an urgent issue for development (Brooks et al., 2006). Laurila-Panta, M., Lehikoinenb, A., Uusitaloc, L. and Venesjärvib, R. (2015). How to value biodiversity in environmental management? Ecological Indicators, Vol. 55, pp. 1-11. The authors argue that the assessment of biodiversity management strategies is a major goal of protecting the environment in the modern world (Laurila-Panta et al., 2015). Economic and socio-cultural factors are of great importance in the integration of human activities and conservation strategies for biodiversity conservation. A consistent study of the problem allows us to work out a successful strategy to protect a healthy ecosystem.
The materials and methods of the study include the review and analysis of various literature materials on the issue of biodiversity conservation strategies, as well as the collection of basic data on the current state of scientific methods and approaches in combating threats to biosecurity, and conclusions about current and future trends and results.
