About This Collection

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.

Meet The Center for Biological Diversity
July 15, 2024
The Center is fighting harder than ever for new endangered species protections. We have a formidable team of lawyers and scientists who work tirelessly to advance its mission which is to protect all species on Earth. Our legal experts engage in strategic litigation, often challenging government policies and corporate practices that endanger species and ecosystems. Meanwhile, our scientists conduct rigorous research to inform conservation strategies and policy recommendations. Stand with thousands of others whose monthly donations sustain the Center's nonstop work to save wildlife, wild places and the planet. $24/month goes towards saving Wildlife, or you can make a one-time donation today. https://www.biologicaldiversity.org https://www.instagram.com/centerforbiodiv
