Biodiversity
Susan Beuel
What is it and why is it important?
Biodiversity refers to all living organisms in a given area. It includes plants, animals, and fungi. Biodiversity is important, so that species will not become extinct. All species depend on one another for survival. For example: Forests provide homes for animals. Animals eat plants. Plants need soil to grow. Biodiversity is lost when habitats shrink. Man clears the land to build homes, offices, stores, etc. Pollution destroys the ecosystem. Man over hunts or fishes.
