All about Biodiversity
Biodiversity is the variety of life in a place, including plants, animals, fungi and microorganisms. A rich variety of life keeps ecosystems healthy and strong.
Scientists have named more than a million species.
A place with lots of different living things is said to have high biodiversity. Each species has a role to play in its ecosystem, and they depend on one another.
When biodiversity is high, ecosystems are more stable and better able to recover from problems like disease or drought. Losing a species can affect many others, so protecting habitats and wildlife helps keep the whole web of life healthy.
