All life on earth is part of one great, interdependent system. Living components interact with and depend on the non-living components of the planet: the atmosphere, oceans, freshwater, rocks and soils. Humans depend totally on this community of life, of which we are an integral part. Biological diversity, or biodiversity, is the variety of all life in Earth. It is the blanket term for the natural biological wealth that underlies life on Earth. More Biodiversity Information
