Read about Biodiversity

Biodiversity
Biological Diversity is the difference between all living things on Earth.
Look around you at the natural world; you will find that very few things are EXACTLY alike.
Take for example the species Homo sapiens, the scientific name for human beings — Look around at your family, your friends, your teachers, and your neighbors. Are any of them the same? No, they aren't.
We are different from whales, camels, monkeys, and other animals but we are also different from each other.
Another thing that is diverse (or different) in the natural world, is the way different animals and plants work with their surroundings. Biodiversity is also the difference in ECOSYSTEMS. Ecosystems are like nature families. In each ecosystem, plants and animals depend on the weather, the type of earth, the amount of water and on other living things around them. They need each other to survive.
