Biodiversity is very important for maintaining viable ecosystems because all species help the ecosystem in some way. Everything from insect species to large mammals. They all do something positive for the ecosystem that they live in. For example, insects and other organisms that break down plant and animal matter are making it easier for more plant species to grow. Animals act as pollinators for plant species as well. So it can then be said that biodiversity is vital for having a viable and varied ecosystem.
