Biodiversity is the variety of living things in a particular place or on Earth as a whole, including different species, genes, and ecosystems. High biodiversity usually means a healthier, more stable environment.
From “bio-” meaning “life” and “diversity” meaning “variety.” The term became common in the late 20th century in discussions about conservation and the environment.
Biodiversity is like nature’s version of having many backup plans—if one species struggles, others can fill its role. When biodiversity drops, ecosystems become fragile, like a Jenga tower with too many blocks removed.
