Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth, encompassing species diversity, genetic diversity, and ecosystem diversity. Earth’s biodiversity provides essential resources and services, such as food, medicine, and clean air and water, that are critical for human well-being. However, human activities are causing a significant loss of biodiversity, with severe consequences for both nature

Ecosystem services are the benefits that people derive from the natural world. They include a range of functions and processes that support and sustain human well-being, such as air and water purification, nutrient cycling, soil formation, and climate regulation. These services are essential for the survival and well-being of all life on Earth, including humans.

Climate change, caused by greenhouse gas concentration, has significantly impacted the Earth in the last three decades. Global terrestrial and sea temperatures are rising, sea levels are rising, land ice coverage is reduced, and there are more extreme weather events like heat waves or cyclones. In the 1930s, Callendar presented evidence of increased greenhouse gas

Animals and plants have evolved a remarkable range of adaptations that allow them to survive and thrive in nature. Adaptations are changes that help an organism better survive in its environment. These adaptations can be physical or behavioural, and they can be passed down from one generation to the next through genetic inheritance. Physical Adaptations
