Does biodiversity need human beings?
Biodiversity supports human and societal needs, including food and nutrition security, energy, development of medicines and pharmaceuticals and freshwater, which together underpin good health. It also supports economic opportunities, and leisure activities that contribute to overall wellbeing.
Why do we need to maintain biodiversity?
Healthy ecosystems clean our water, purify our air, maintain our soil, regulate the climate, recycle nutrients and provide us with food. Biodiversity is the key indicator of the health of an ecosystem. A wide variety of species will cope better with threats than a limited number of them in large populations.
What is biodiversity and why it is important?

Recreation—many recreational pursuits rely on our unique biodiversity , such as birdwatching, hiking, camping and fishing.
Do you think that caring for the earth is like caring for ourselves why?
By caring for the Earth and all of life, we care for ourselves. By embracing our own nature as expressions of Nature, humanity can become a conscious force of healing. By keeping the limits of our own knowing in mind, we can begin to humbly contribute to the flourishing rather than the impoverishment of Life.
