Biodiversity is critically important because it underpins the healthy ecosystems that support all life on Earth, including humans. It provides essential services such as food, clean air and water, crop pollination, soil health, and natural disaster protection. Biodiversity also contributes to medicine, climate regulation, and economic livelihoods, while positively influencing human physical and mental health. The loss of biodiversity threatens these vital benefits and the resilience of ecosystems to environmental changes and disasters.
