Biodiversity is life. Scientists use the word to describe the links and variety between all living things on the planet - including humans. You may think of biodiversity as the environment, or as nature, wildlife, plants and animals, but the important thing to remember is it's all inter-connected. That includes every person too - we all rely on biodiversity for our survival, because of the vast number of goods and services our planet provides for us
