Ecosystems and Biodiversity

Ecosystems are communities where living organisms, like plants, animals, and microorganisms, interact with each other and their physical environment, such as soil, water, and climate. Biodiversity refers to the variety of life within these ecosystems, including the different species and genetic diversity among them. High biodiversity contributes to ecosystem health, making it more resilient to changes and disturbances. Ecosystems provide essential services, such as clean air, water, and food, highlighting the importance of preserving biodiversity for the well-being of all living beings and the planet’s future.
