Contents Notes
Biological diversity, or biodiversity, refers to the variety of all life on Earth--on all levels, from genes to species, ecosystems, and biomes. While it is believed the Earth supports approximately 3 to 10 million species, only about 1.5 million have been given a scientific name. Biodiversity is critical for maintaining balanced ecosystems and provides a plethora of ecosystem goods and services such as clean air, fresh water, waste removal, food, fiber, and medicines.
