Biodiversiteti
Biodiversiteti refers to the variety and variability of life on Earth, including the diversity within species, between species, and of ecosystems. It encompasses genetic diversity within populations, species diversity in communities, and the variety of habitats and ecological processes that sustain them. Biodiversiteti provides the foundation for ecosystem services that are essential for human well-being, such as food and medicine, clean water, pollination, climate regulation, flood protection, and cultural and recreational values.
Genetic diversity enables populations to adapt to changing environmental conditions. Species diversity reflects the multitude of
Biodiversiteti is under threat from multiple drivers, including habitat destruction and fragmentation, climate change, overexploitation of
Monitoring biodiversity involves inventories, genetic analyses, and ecosystem assessments, with indicators such as species richness, evenness,
Conservation strategies include the establishment of protected areas, sustainable management of natural resources, ecological restoration, and
