I don’t understand biodiversity
In: 0
“Bio” means “life”, and “diversity” is about how similar or different things are.
Biodiversity is about how many different types of life there are in an area (a habitat or ecosystem). For instance, there might only be a handful of different types of plants and animals that live within a stretch of desert, so there would be lower biodiversity there. Go to a rainforest and you’ll have hundreds of different plants and animals running around, so the biodiversity will be much higher.
It is bad for an area with high biodiversity to lose its diversity (species going extinct or moving away from that area), because it makes it harder for the whole ecosystem to survive.
