Biodiversity, a term derived from “biological diversity,” refers to the variety of life on Earth. It encompasses the full range of living organisms, including plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms, and the ecosystems in which they live. Biodiversity is essential to the health of our planet and the survival of human societies. In the UK, biodiversity plays a critical role in maintaining the stability and resilience of natural systems, from forests and wetlands to rivers, coasts, and urban areas.
