BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION

Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth, encompassing the different species of plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms, the genetic differences within these species, and the ecosystems they form. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the natural world, supporting ecosystem services like pollination, soil fertility, water purification, and climate regulation. Biodiversity also contributes to cultural values, livelihoods, and scientific discoveries. However, human activities such as deforestation, pollution, and climate change are threatening biodiversity at an alarming rate, making its conservation more important than ever.
