EB Presents: Biodiversity Infographic Explainer

Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth, encompassing species richness, genetic diversity, and ecosystem diversity. It is a crucial measure of ecosystem health. Biodiversity can be assessed by counting species, examining genetic variation within and between species, and identifying unique endemic species. Additionally, the diversity of ecosystems within a landscape contributes to overall biodiversity. Understanding these aspects helps in evaluating the uniqueness and health of ecosystems.

What are endemic species and why are they important for biodiversity?

How can the number of distinct ecosystems in an area contribute to our understanding of biodiversity?
