Biological Diversity or Biodiversity refers to the wealth of life on earth, the millions of plants, animals, and micro-organisms, their genes and the relationships they build into the living environment.
The richness and variety of nature is probably the greatest wonder of the world. There is huge variety in nature, from the smallest plankton to the largest whale and from dull lichens to massive Redwood trees.

They
each have their part to play. They are not competing with
each other all the time, but depend on each other for providing
their habitat.
It is presumed that the more variety there is, the more likely
it is that nature can respond to any challenges that may arise,
and keep balance and maintain order.
As we are not sure what may happen in the future, it is better
to preserve as many options as possible.
