Open in App
Solution

Biodiversity refers to the number and variety of various life forms such as plants, animals, and microorganisms in an area.

Plants and animals depend on each other for their survival. The destruction of any of this will affect the lives of others. Therefore we need to conserve biodiversity to maintain the balance of nature.

The variety in life existing on the earth, their interrelationships, and their relationships with the environment is referred to as biodiversity.

Biodiversity boosts ecosystem productivity where each species, no matter how small, all have an important role to play.

A larger number of plant species means a greater variety of crops. Greater species diversity ensures natural sustainability for all life forms.

We should conserve biodiversity so as to maintain the food chain. The disturbance in the food chain may affect the whole ecosystem.
