write short note on biodiversity?

Explanation:
Biodiversity is short for “biological diversity.” Biodiversity is “the variety of all living things, and the systems which connect them.” This includes all the planet's different plants, animals and micro organisms, plus the genetic information they contain and the ecosystems of which they are a part.
It is important to most aspects of our lives. We value biodiversity for many reasons, some utilitarian, some intrinsic. This means we value biodiversity both for what it provides to humans, and for the value it has in its own right. Utilitarian values include the many basic needs humans obtain from biodiversity such as food, fuel, shelter, and medicine.

Utilitarian values include the many basic needs humans obtain from biodiversity such as food, fuel, shelter, and medicine. The conservation efforts of the last decades have made a significant difference in the state of biodiversity today. Over 100,000 protected areas—including national parks, wildlife refuges, game reserves, and marine protected areas, managed both by governments and local communities—provide habitat for wildlife, and help keep deforestation in check. When protecting habitat is not enough, other types of conservation actions such as restoration, reintroduction, and the control of invasive species, have had positive impacts.
