    We think that biodiversity is very important because everything in an environment is interrelated. If you look at the environment like a jenga game or a puzzle, if you take one element out of it, it will be incomplete. Everything depends and related to one another.

    Because it provides human's basic needs, such as shelter, food, and medicine. It helps keep the oxygen in the air and provides natural shelters againsts storms.

    Biodiversity is so important because it deals with every living thing and how they interact and are different from each other. The variety of all the different plants and animals gives for a wide food chain. This makes it easier for plants and animals to survive

    Biodiversity is important because we need to understand our surroundings and all the elements that sustain our way of life in order to keep the planet healthy. Biodiversity also makes up the structure of ecosystems and habitats that support essential living resources. In addition, it helps provide for basic human needs such as medicine, food, and shelter.

    It is important because there is such a mass quantity of organisms and every organism is different and all have different needs. Hint the words diversity, there is a diverse amount of organisms in their ecosystems and so many different types of species. It is important because all the different organisms can coexists in the same area. If they don't coexist in the same area then there won't be an equality.

    Biodiversity is important to the environment because organisms depend on one-another. If you look at a food web, each organism has a vital role. If you take out one organism, it throws the food web off balance.

    Biodiversity is important because it helps in the life process. Because there are different species, there are many interactions and uses for them. It helps in the circle of life. It also helps define the different biomes and climates. Different organisms can survive in different conditions, so knowing these animals can help determine what climate they'll live in.

    Biodiversity is important because it helps sustain ecosystem equality. Different species keep other species in check or help other species thrive.

    Biodiversity is essential because humans benefit from interacting with other organisms. Humans, plants, and animal all must interact to form diverse structure. If the was no biodiversity the planet wouldn't work.

    Biodiversity is important because it effects the earth's life cycle. It is like when you are playing with dominos, if you knock one domino down, they all fall down. If you do something to destroy one thing, you end up destroying the whole habitat. Life depends upon life and if there is no life to sustain other lives, the cycle ends.
