Forests and wetland ecosystems provide crucial buffers to extreme storms and flooding related to climate change. About 75 percent of our food supply comes from just 12 plant species, and more than 90 percent of global livestock production comes from just 15 species of mammals and birds. That’s deceptive, though, because those 27 species along with many others that also provide food for humans couldn’t exist without help from hundreds of thousands of lesser known species working behind the scenes. Biodiversity is important in medicine. A very large number of species of plants is used for medicinal purposes since ancient times. An example is quinine, extracted from the cinchona tree that is used to fight malaria. About 250,000 species of known plants, only 5,000 have been studied for their possible medical applications. Biodiversity is also a source of richness in the sector of tourism and recreational activities: wild natural environments and the presence of animals attract thousands of tourists from all over the world every year.https://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/wilderness-resources/blogs/why-biodiversity-big-dealPost 2Biodiverty plays a major role first of is defined as the variation among living organisms, including all the ecosystem, this includes within the species, and the entire planet. Is basically the foundation of any ecosystem. Biodiversity includes many levels such as genetic diversity, species diversity and community diversity. Is very important, because biodiversity is the provision of food security by preventing natural disasters, and how it does it basically it maintains the ecosystem. It maintains the ecological balance. Therefore, biodiversity boost the productivity of an ecosystem, and it provides resources for production, such as new medicines and food crops. For example, a large number of plants results in greater variety of crops. It makes sure that we have a healthier ecosystem, due to it protects water resources, it brakes down pollution and its absorption, it stable climatic conditions , it provides shelter to animals, it storage and recycles of nutrients, basically without it all ecosystem wouldn’t be able to survive.
