Why is bio-diversity important to human survival?

Biodiversity is important to human survival because it provides us with essential ecosystem services such as clean air and water, pollination of plants for food production, and Natural Resources for medicine and shelter. A diverse array of species also strengthens the resilience of ecosystems to adapt to environmental changes and disruptions, which ultimately benefits human well-being. Loss of biodiversity can lead to negative impacts on human health, food security, and economic stability.
