Biodiversity is the diversity of life on this planet. In all it's forms. From the smallest insect, to the largest tree, to the ecological systems in which they exist.

This diversity is important because it is the platform on which we humans stand. It provides us with our food. It protects us - catastrophes such as floods, landslides and droughts would not happen or would have less impact if we did not cut, destroy, and remove the natural barriers, drains or sinks. Life has even saved our lives when our health is at risk - many of our medicines have been sourced from the dwindling diversity of life in our forests and seas.

We depend on this diversity. Because our life is ultimately balanced with all other life on this planet. Life that we need to protect.
