Wildlife, or biodiversity, is a complex collection of plants and animals set within habitats and the interactions between them all. Together these form the web of life, often referred to as the ecosystem. Mankind is a part within this system and from it we derive life-giving benefits including oxygen, food, materials and medicines. The services that we get for free are numerous and include soil for our crops to grow in and bees to pollinate them. Carbon is captured and stored and vegetation slows down run off and helps to prevent flooding. Habitats and wildlife inspire artists and improve everyone's quality of life.
