biodiversity assessments

Biodiversity assessments are evaluations used to measure and understand the variety of life in a specific environment, including different species of plants, animals, and microorganisms. These assessments help scientists identify which species are present, their populations, and their health. By assessing biodiversity, researchers can detect changes in ecosystems, understand the impacts of human activities, and inform conservation efforts. Overall, these assessments provide critical information to protect habitats and maintain ecological balance, ensuring that natural systems continue to thrive for future generations.
