Ecosystem diversity

Ecosystem diversity refers to the variety of different environments and communities within a region, including forests, wetlands, grasslands, and oceans. It encompasses the different types of habitats, the plants, animals, and microorganisms they support, and how these elements interact. This diversity is important because it maintains the balance of natural processes, supports a wide range of life forms, and provides resources and services like clean air, water, and fertility. Protecting ecosystem diversity ensures the resilience of our planet's natural systems to change and stress.
