Biodiversity and Conservation
Biodiversity refers to the variety of living organisms in a specific habitat or on Earth. It includes different species of plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms. Conservation, on the other hand, is the effort to protect and preserve biodiversity. Researchers study biodiversity to understand the relationships between different species, their habitats, and the impact of human activities on ecosystems. Conservation research focuses on finding ways to prevent species extinction, protect endangered habitats, and promote sustainable practices to maintain biodiversity for future generations.
