Biodiversity in Animals – An Overview

It’s the variety of animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms like bacteria that make up our natural world—the diversity of life you’ll find in one area. Ecosystems work together as an intricate web to maintain balance and support life by supporting all of these species and organisms. In order for all life on Earth, including humans, to function properly, biodiversity is vital. We cannot have healthy ecosystems that provide us with the air and food we eat without a wide range of animals, plants, and microorganisms. Nature itself is also valued by people.
