What you need to know

  • Biodiversity is the variety of living things, including millions of species not yet described.
  • Other species pollinate crops, provide medicines, and habitats such as coral reefs and mangroves protect coasts.
  • Human use of land and sea is driving species extinct, sometimes before they are known.
  • Conservation means protecting the richest habitats, bringing species back and leaving routes so wildlife can move.
