When researching about the deforestation of the Amazon I came across the amount of species that would be effected by this. That is why I decided to write about biodiversity. Biodiversity refers to the vast variety of species of plants, animals, microorganisms,and the other ecosystems of the planet. Each ecosystem depends on biodiversity to maintain itself. If there are more species in an area then there is more sustainability with each life form. If there is a larger variety of plants then there can be a greater variety of crops. If an ecosystem is healthy then it can recover faster from disasters. By protecting biodiversity we will promote food, water resources, wood growth, pollution breakdown, medical resources, research, and more. People need to be more aware of what is happening around the world. If we start to remove or neglect species and ecosystems around the world everyone will feel the effects. Remove one piece of the puzzle and everything will start to fall apart. This is a real issue.
