Restoring biodiversity to protect our future is the reason behind Sellicks Woodlands & Wetlands Action Network - SWWAN campaigns. Here is a great post on why it is so important.
It's Blue With Five Petals publishes a great post on biodiversity, ecology, plants and wildlife every Sunday evening. Well worth following. Please like and follow their page.

Biodiversity is the sum total of all living species and all their variations and all their interactions. This complex of dynamic living things created the thin thin film of life โthe biosphere โ clinging to the surface of the earth and the oceans. Their interactions unite the world. The โmachineryโ of their living creates the air we breathe, the fertile soil in which we grow things, the oceans from which we feed, the fresh water we drink.
Tiny decorations on the eggs of a butterfly, the fine threads of fungi that wind through the soil for many meters, the petite leaves of mosses that swell and turn green with the first winter rains, the bulbs that push up from underground in autumn after conserving energy all summer long to allow this to happen, millions of microscopic bacteria breaking down the fallen leaves, the ants that are security guards for tiny caterpillars while they feed on native sorrel, the call of a blue wren or a magpie, the bandicoot turning over the soil, eagle that soars over 1000s of hectares daily.
Think of the most complex delicate machine you can imagine and multiply that complexity by many billions. That is biodiversity.
Now imagine starting to pull this machine apart one bit at a time; an aluminum cover plate, a bolt, a nut, a few more bolts, a coil, a small circuit board, a tiny weld, hair-thin copper wire, a tension spring, a tiny dial. At which point would you accidentally pull out an important part that fuses the whole machine or causes its disintegration?
That is the point at which we, the people, now find ourselves โ destroying a complex universe bit by bit and we are close to the collapse of the system.
Biodiversity; the diversity of all living things.
