Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth, including plants, animals, microorganisms, and the ecosystems they form. It plays a critical role in maintaining environmental balance, supporting food systems, regulating climate, and sustaining human health. Biodiversity contributes to clean air and water, soil fertility, pollination, and disease regulation. Loss of biodiversity due to deforestation, pollution, climate change, and urbanization threatens ecosystem stability and increases risks of zoonotic diseases, food insecurity, and environmental degradation. From a public health perspective, protecting biodiversity supports resilient ecosystems that reduce disease transmission and support livelihoods. Conservation strategies include sustainable land use, habitat protection, biodiversity monitoring, and community engagement. Preserving biodiversity is essential for environmental sustainability, human survival, and long-term global health and development.
