What is Biodiversity?



"Simply put, biodiversity means the variety of living things." --(Environment Yukon)


Biodiversity is the amount of and variation in species that are alive. We have an incredibly vast and diverse biosphere here on Earth that is being threatened by many human activities like pollution and the destruction of habitats. The main focus of this blog is climate change and throughout my entries I will explain why we should conserve biodiversity, give examples of what you can do, explain why biodiversity is important to maintaining viable ecosystems, how loss of biodiversity affects human population, how humans affect climate change, how climate change affects the diversity of life, and finally what actions we can take to minimize our impact on global warming.
