Show transcript
Biodiversity is the number of different species that live in a place. Biodiversity is important as it keeps habitats healthy, and provides humans with food, medicines and other resources. Humans have a negative impact on biodiversity through habitat destruction and pollution of the environment. Humans can take action to help maintain biodiversity, such as through conservation activities. Genetic diversity can be conserved through seed banks and other forms of gene banks.
