Biodiversity
Biodiversity refers to the variety of genes, species, ecosystems and landscapes that comprise our world (UNESCO, 2010). Every species has a role to play in an ecosystem, which results in increased productivity and sustainability. However, the decline in the number of different species threatens the wellbeing of our planet. Also known as biodiversity loss, this decline negatively affects the food chains that human beings depend on; it also destroys water resources and leads to a scarcity of medicine and drug resources which could have been obtained from lost organisms (Wheeling Jesuit University, Center for Educational Technologies, 2018).
