Discover biodiversity
Every journey begins with a question.
If it is unseen, it does not mean it is invisible. Biodiversity is everything that surrounds us, a multiplicity of species and organisms in relation to each other that provide us with the balance that life needs.
What is biodiversity
Biodiversity is critical to the resilience of ecosystems.
The higher the diversity of species, the greater the ability of ecosystems to adapt to change andwithstand extreme events.
Think of it as a well-tended garden: the more diversity it has, the stronger and more able it is to cope with the elements.
Learn how each organism, from the smallest to the largest, contributes to maintaining this delicate balance.
