Biodiversity comes from two words Bio meaning life and diversity meaning
variability.

Biodiversity is the variety of all living things; the different plants, animals and
microorganisms, the genetic information they contain and the ecosystems
they form.

Biodiversity is all the different kinds of life you’ll find in one area—the variety
of animals, plants, fungi, and even microorganisms like bacteria that make
up our natural world. Each of these species and organisms work together in
ecosystems, like an intricate web, to maintain balance and support life.
Biodiversity supports everything in nature that we need to survive food, clean
water, medicine, and shelter.

But as humans put increasing pressure on the planet, using and consuming
more resources than ever before, we risk upsetting the balance of
ecosystems and losing biodiversity. WWF’s 2018 Living Planet Report found
an average 60% decline in global populations of mammals, fish, birds,
reptiles, and amphibians since 1970. Humans have overfished the oceans,
cleared forests,
polluted our water
sources, and created a
climate crisis. These
actions are impacting
biodiversity
around the world, from
the most exotic locales
to our own backyards.
