The Importance of Biodiversity
Biodiversity is the variety and variability of life on Earth. It is typically a measure of variation at the genetic, species, and ecosystem level. Biodiversity is vital because it boosts ecosystem productivity where each species, no matter how small, all have an important role to play. For instance:
- Tropical Forests: These are incredibly rich in species diversity and contribute to regulating the climate.
- Coral Reefs: Known as the "rainforests of the sea," they support a vast variety of marine life.
