Living with Others: Biodiversity around Us

The variety of life on earth, its biological diversity is commonly referred to as Biodiversity. The number of species of plants, animals and micro-organisms, the enormous diversity of genes in these species, the different ecosystems on the planet such as deserts, rainforests and coral reefs, are all part of a biologically diverse earth. Biodiversity boosts ecosystem productivity where each species, no matter how small, has an important role to play. Preserving species and their habitats is important for ecosystems to sustain themselves. It has long been feared that human activity is causing massive extinctions. Despite increased efforts at conservation, sustainability eludes.
