ABOUT BIODIVERSITY Biodiversity refers to the amazing variety of plant and animal life on earth, including diversity of ecosystems (a community or habitat of living organisms), genes and species, and ecological practices that support them. Biodiversity is the web of life. There is a growing concern about the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services in many areas of the world, and the associated impacts it has on human health and economic development. The welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature; the existence of wild animals and plants. Biodiversity allows us to live healthy lives, it provides us with food directly, or through pollination, medical discoveries and ecosystem services. These services are imperative and include everything from cleaning water and absorbing chemicals, which wetlands do, to providing oxygen for us to breathe. Sadly, the Earth’s biodiversity is in decline due to activities such as deforestation, land-use change agricultural intensification, over-consumption of natural resources, pollution and climate change. Biodiversity is something spectacular and Alscot recognises the importance of conserving it.
