Biodiversity Indicators

Biodiversity indicators are measurements used to assess the health and diversity of life in a particular area or globally. They help us understand how many different species exist, how populations are changing, and the overall condition of ecosystems. These indicators provide valuable information for decision-making, conservation efforts, and tracking progress toward protecting biodiversity. Examples include the number of native species, population trends of key species, and habitat quality. By monitoring these indicators, scientists and policymakers can identify threats, prioritize actions, and work toward maintaining a healthy, balanced natural environment.
