What is biodiversity?

Biological diversity or biodiversity is the variety of all living things on Earth (plants, animals, fungi and micro-organisms) and the interactions between organisms and ecosystems.  It includes all aspects of nature and how they are interdependent.

Biodiversity provides us with essential services like food, medicine, clean water and air and a means of combating the negative effects of Climate Change and flooding.  In a city, biodiversity provides us with a breath of fresh air and a natural environment in which to relax; it is vital for our well-being.
