Biodiversity
Biodiversity simply means the variety of all life on earth. It includes all plants, animals, microbes, the places where they live - and even us! All these things together give us many benefits without us even noticing:
- clean air
- water
- food
- energy
- medicine
- jobs
- places to live
We need all the different kinds of life around us in order to survive. Unfortunately our biodiversity is under threat from factors including climate change and development.
