What is Biodiversity?
Biodiversity is the variety of life on earth and includes all species of plants and animals and the natural systems that support them. Biodiversity describes our natural wealth, which makes up the living landscape around us, sustains ecological systems and enhances our quality of life. It is an important component of the view from our window, the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the materials and medicenes we use, and the functioning of natural systems and processes on which our lives depend.
