Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth, in all its forms and all its interactions. Biodiversity is the sum total of all life on Earth. If that sounds really broad, that’s because it is. It is every plant, every insect, every mammal, reptile, and even bacteria. “Without biodiversity, there is no future for humanity,” says Prof David Macdonald, at Oxford University.
Ultimately, biodiversity is our very survival!

It's not an easy subject to tackle, but we hope that by watching our explainer, you'll learn what biodiversity is, why protecting biodiversity is important, and how planting trees and restoring habitats and native species is central to our collective effort to preserve Earth's biodiversity.

We are facing a climate crisis and the rapid loss of Earth's remaining wild places. As we lose habitats, we also lose biodiversity. In nature, all things are connected. But should we lose one species, everything intertwined with it is then in jeopardy like food supply, health, and overall wellbeing.

There are solutions though. Better yet, naturebased solutions can restore our ecosystems to their former glory. That is where reforestation comes in. Trees can help restore these ecosystems and habitats and it may not be as difficult as it seems. We just have to come together for this common cause, to restore biodiversity.
