Biodiversity is Life - Biodiversity is our Life

Biodiversity is more than beautiful animals and plants, it is the core of life as we know it and very important to the well being of the Planet Earth and the human being. The United Nations is trying to redefine the current approach to biodiversity conservation, making it clear to all people in the world that biodiversity is truly the center of life in the world as we know it.
