Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth, encompassing the vast range of species, ecosystems, and genetic diversity that sustain life and ecological balance.

Biodiversity is currently under threat from habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and invasive species, prompting urgent scientific efforts to understand and protect it. Stay informed with the latest research on biodiversity trends, conservation strategies, and the interconnectedness of life on our planet.
