Alkaloids are diverse in number and form. They can be produced naturally, artificially, or by chance or accident (mutations) and they are therefore a part of global and local biodiversity. Protection of the biodiversity of our Earth was proclaimed by the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) and the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, and it is continuously under public attention in all nations and international discussions. A problem connected with biodiversity, sometimes silenced by scientists, politicians, and nature protection leaders and movements is that the absolute exact number of species existing on the Earth is not known. The answer to the question of how many species exist on the globe is not known and probably never will be known exactly, because the answer needs final documentation of every form of life in all environments and places on the Earth. This is possible only theoretically. Today, more than 275,000 plant species have been described, and about 1.65 million living fungi species are known. About 186,(X)0 species of mollusks are estimated...
