Exercise 1
 Why biodiversity is important in our life?
Answer: Every type of life contributes to establishing and preserving the balance that is brought
about by biodiversity. The trees won't be able to acquire the water they require if the bacteria that
clean the water disappear, and as a result, many animals would run out of food. And not just
animals need on biodiversity to live. This diverse range of nature provides us as people with
things like safe drinking water, food, medicine, and shelter. Additionally, a healthy ecosystem
aids in garbage processing and climate control. Simply said, life isn't much of a life at all without
biodiversity. Many people believe that biodiversity has intrinsic value since all species, whether
or not they are known to bring value to humans, have worth and a right to exist. The survival of
mankind and people depend on biodiversity.
