What is Biodiversity?

 

Biodiversity, short for biological diversity, refers to the variety and variability of life on Earth. It encompasses the range of ecosystems, species, and genetic variation within species. Biodiversity is not evenly distributed across the planet but varies greatly, often richest in the tropics and in specific environments such as rainforests and coral reefs. It supports ecosystem services, including food provision, water purification, disease regulation, climate regulation.

​

Why is it Important?

 

Biodiversity is under threat from human activities such as deforestation, pollution and many other factors. The conservation of biodiversity is essential not only for environmental sustainability but also as a strategic imperative for businesses and governments. It underpins economic growth, supports health and well-being and is fundamental to climate resilience.  By investing in biodiversity, businesses can innovate and access new markets, while governments can ensure the long-term well-being of their citizens and safeguard natural resources critical for future generations. This is a pivotal moment for leaders across sectors to collaborate and integrate biodiversity into their strategic planning, driving towards a future that is prosperous, equitable, and sustainable for all overfishing and climate change, leading to a rapid and ongoing loss of biodiversity globally.
