Biodiversity refers to all the varieties of life that can be found on Earth, such as plants, animals, fungi and microorganisms. Each individual species has a specific role to play in the health of the ecosystem. However, as a result of pollution, climate change, invasive alien species, destruction of natural habitats and '''exploitation''' (such as overfishing), one million of the world’s estimated eight million species of plants and animals are threatened with extinction.
