Wildlife Diversity

Wildlife diversity refers to the variety and variability of animal species within a particular habitat, ecosystem, or geographic area. It encompasses not only the number of different species (species richness) but also the abundance of each species and the ecological roles they play. High wildlife diversity is indicative of a healthy ecosystem, as it contributes to resilience, stability, and functioning of the environment. Wildlife diversity is crucial for ecological processes, such as pollination, seed dispersal, and nutrient cycling, and it helps ensure the survival of species by providing a range of genetic variations. It is also important for human well-being, offering benefits such as resources for food, medicine, recreation, and cultural significance. Conservation efforts aim to protect wildlife diversity to maintain ecosystem health and prevent extinction of species.
