Biodiversity

Biodiversity refers to the variety of life forms found within an ecosystem, be that a pond, an entire forest or the earth as a whole.

It is no coincidence that areas identified to contain great biodiversity are often our precious rainforests. Forests teem with life of all kinds and play a vital role in maintaining the earth’s ecological balance.

The medicinal value alone of biodiversity is staggering. The top 20 prescription drugs in the US were all derived from plants or animals.

With an estimated 10% of all species known and extinctions outpacing discoveries we need to preserve what we have. The planet’s biodiversity holds many secrets yet to be revealed and remains the key to ours and the planet’s survival.
