What is Biodiversity

Biodiversity refers to the immense variety of life forms that exist on Earth, including animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms. This diversity occurs at multiple levels—within species, between species, and across ecosystems. It is not just about the number of species, but also how they interact with one another and with their physical environment to create functioning, resilient natural systems.
An estimated 8.7 million species inhabit our planet, each contributing to the stability and productivity of the ecosystems they are part of. Biodiversity supports essential life-sustaining services: regulating the climate, purifying water, enriching soil, controlling disease, pollinating crops, and cycling nutrients. These systems provide food, medicine, energy, and raw materials, forming the foundation of our economies, health, and well-being.
Moreover, biodiversity plays a critical cultural and spiritual role in many societies, shaping identities and traditions. When biodiversity is lost—through deforestation, pollution, overexploitation, or climate change—the balance of ecosystems is disrupted, making them less resilient to shocks and reducing their ability to support human life.

Protecting biodiversity is therefore not just about saving animals or plants; it’s about safeguarding the systems that sustain all life on Earth, including our own.
