Biodiversity: The variety and variability of all life on Earth Important, including plants, animals, bacteria and microorganisms, and humans.

Why’s Biodiversity Important?
It is fundamental to many things that are essential to everyday life such as production of oxygen, filtration of natural drinking water, fertility of our soil, pollination of plants to produce crops, protection of coastlines from erosion, and much more! Also, a rich diversity of life creates the opportunity for medical discoveries, economic advances, and fresh responses to challenges such as climate change.

However, the number of wildlife populations around the world has shrunk by nearly 70% in the last 50 years alone!  See how a unique environmental collaboration is working to tackle this urgent decline in one of the world’s eco-hotspots!
