EDIO VIDEO

40,000 species of fungi, plants, and animals provide us with many varied types of resources.

Clothing, shelter, medicines, and other products. These include timber, fibers, fragrances, papers, silks, dyes, adhesives, rubber, resins, skins, furs, and more.

Importance

One important role of biodiversity is that it helps keep the nutrients, such as nitrogen, in the soil.

Biodiversity also allows plants to be pollinated by different types of insects.

Different species of fungi are necessary to recycle waste from dead plants and animals.
