What is biodiversity, why is biodiversity important and why do we need to protect it?

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 well-being.

There are solutions though. Better yet, nature-based 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.

Hello!

I don't believe that you guys could ever see this in time, but I would like to ask:

Would I be able to use parts of this background footage for a school project that I am working on? It would greatly benefit my presentation!

no support because animal agriculture not addressed with any of the footage.
instead at 0:28, it says we need animals to provide us with food (separately mentioned from insects for pollination), which is incorrect.
animal agriculture at scale is the single biggest contributor to habitat destruction and segmentation, and there's no need for it.
planting trees while tolerating mass animal agriculture is the equivalent of mopping the floor while keeping the tap running.
