Biodiversity refers to the variety of life in the world or in a particular habitat or ecosystem. It is necessary for life to thrive on Earth.
Aldo Leopold, one of the great thinkers of conservation, observed more than half a century ago the importance of protecting species. "To keep every cog and wheel is the first precaution of intelligent tinkering," he wrote. Losing species is like throwing away one by one the engine parts of an airplane while flying.
Biodiversity is a major initiative of Conservation International.
Biodiversity conservation provides substantial benefits to meet immediate human needs, such as those for clean, consistent water flows; protection from floods and storms; and a stable climate.

Curious California Puma |
| August 25, 2021 Los Angeles is one of only two megacities in the world with big cats living in city limits. (The other is Mumbai.) More mountain lions live in the Santa Monica mountains just north of the city. Turn up the volume to hear this puma sniffing a remote camera in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. And check out our new report about the importance of wildlife crossings, which can help animals like SoCal mountain lions navigate fragmented landscapes and avoid vehicle collisions: https://biodiv.us/38bp6W8 |
