How do we use biodiversity?

Biodiversity is essential for ecosystem stability, resilience, and the provision of ecosystem services, such as clean air and water, pollination, and soil fertility. It supports agriculture by providing a variety of crops and livestock, enhancing food security. Additionally, biodiversity contributes to medicine, with many pharmaceuticals derived from diverse plant and animal species. Overall, it enriches our lives culturally and recreationally, supporting mental well-being and community identity.
