Global Biodiversity
We are all connected
Biodiversity refers to the variety of living species on Earth, including plants, animals, bacteria, and fungi. While Earth’s biodiversity is so rich that many species have yet to be discovered, many species are being threatened with extinction due to human activities, putting the Earth’s magnificent biodiversity at risk.
Much of the Earth’s biodiversity is in jeopardy due to human consumption and other activities that disturb and
even destroy ecosystems. Pollution, climate change, and population growth are all threats to biodiversity. These threats
have caused an unprecedented rise in the rate of species extinction. Some scientists estimate that half of all species
on Earth will be wiped out within the next century. Conservation efforts are necessary to preserve biodiversity and
protect endangered species and their habitats.
