Wilson’s biodiversity concept

Wilson’s biodiversity concept emphasizes the importance of the variety of life on Earth—different species, ecosystems, and genetic diversity—for the health and stability of our planet. He argues that conserving this diversity isn’t just about protecting individual species but also maintaining the complex interactions and processes that support life. Biodiversity helps ecosystems function properly, providing resources like clean air, water, and food, and making them resilient to changes and threats. Wilson’s view highlights that protecting biodiversity is essential for the well-being of all living things, including humans, and requires understanding and safeguarding the interconnected web of life.
