What is Biodiversity?

There may be some confusion as to what we mean by biodiversity. Just like there is diversity amongst people in different communities, there is diversity within our environment, and we depend on it everyday! There is not a year, a month, a week, a day, a second that we do not depend on the diverse species that exist amongst us! DON'T BELIEVE US? Well, where do we get our oxygen from? What do we depend on to eliminate carbon emissions? How do we enrich the soil where food is grown? Where does the medications that develop come from? THE ANSWER IS BIODIVERSITY! We depend on plants and trees to elimiate carbon emissions and provide oxygen for us to breathe. Can you go without breathing? (PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS!) We depend on worms, insects, bacteria, and tiny microorganisms to break down wastes and help to decompose plants and animals in order to enrich our soils. We depend on numerous plants and animals in order to develop medicines to save our lives! WHO IS WILLING TO GIVE UP SOMETHING THIS GREAT? Biodiversity is everything around you! The animals we see, the plants and trees we admire, the streams and waterfalls, the natural environment around you. IT'S HERE FOR A REASON!!!! It is our job to protect it! NOT CONVINCED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT,YET? Well, that's why we are here! Take a look at the rest of our blog to learn more about just how important our world is to you, me, and future generations. Don't let our world disappear.
