Short description on natural Diversity

Natural diversity refers to the variety of life forms and ecosystems found on Earth, including the millions of species of plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms. This diversity is the result of billions of years of evolution and the interactions between living organisms and their physical environment. Natural diversity is important for a variety of reasons, including providing essential resources such as food, water, and medicine, supporting ecosystem services like pollination and soil formation, and contributing to cultural and aesthetic values. However, human activities such as habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change are causing significant loss of natural diversity, with potentially severe consequences for the functioning and resilience of ecosystems and the well-being of human societies.
