Native Biodiversity

Native biodiversity refers to the variety of living organisms, including plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms, that are naturally found in a specific geographic area. This biodiversity is shaped by the local climate, soil, and ecosystems over time. It plays a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance, providing essential services like clean air and water, and supporting agriculture. Protecting native biodiversity helps ensure the resilience of ecosystems, allowing them to adapt to changes and disturbances, ultimately benefiting both the environment and human well-being.
