  In simple terms, biodiversity refers to all types of life on Earth . The UN Convention on Biological Diversity ( CBD ) describes it as “the diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems, including plants, animals, bacteria, and fungi ”. These three levels work together to create life on Earth, in all its complexity. The diversity of species keep the global ecosystem in balance , providing everything in nature that we, as humans, need to survive, including food, clean water, medicine and shelter.  Over  half of global GDP  is strongly dependent on nature. More than one billion people  rely on forests  for their livelihoods. Biodiversity is also our strongest natural defence against  climate change . Land and ocean ecosystems act as “carbon sinks” , absorbing more than half of all carbon emissions.   Forests are being restored through biodiversity enterprise programmes in Kenya.

From the smallest bacteria to the grandest ecosystems, biodiversity is a lifeline for all living things, providing essentials like food, water, and medicine. It's also a natural defense against climate change .
