What is biodiversity? What will happens if biodiversity of an area is not preserved? Mention one effect of it.
Biodiversity is the degree of variation of life forms or the variety of living organisms present in a given ecosystem, which can be aquatic or terrestrial.
If the biodiversity of an area is not preserved, then the whole ecological balance can get disturbed. For example, if deforestation continues at a high pace, then the producers of the region where deforestation is happening will eventually get destroyed; this, in turn, will affect the population of the consumers as well. Thus, in long run, the whole flora and fauna of that region will get destroyed.
