Abstract
Biodiversity underpins all life on Earth, and refers to biological variety in all its forms, from the genetic make-up of plants and animals to cultural diversity. Along with us, many animals also live on the earth on which we live. From micro-organisms to leeches, from tiny plants to giant banyan trees, from rats, squirrels to elephants and hippopotamuses to small fish to the big blue whale, all live together on Earth. The main objective of the study was to describe and analyze current situations, beliefs, ideologies, and attitudes about the advantages for Human health of bio-diversity. Several studies show that there are many things for which we depend on biodiversity and we need to conserve it. Take for example agriculture is incredibly dependent on invertebrates, they help maintain soil health, while many fruits, nuts, and vegetables are pollinated by insects. Additionally, the biological diversity of microorganisms, flora, and fauna provides extensive benefits for biological, health, and pharmacological sciences. Significant medical and pharmacological discoveries are made through a greater understanding of the earth's biodiversity.
