Q9: 'The Importance of Biodiversity' - Read the passage aloud

Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth—plants, animals, and ecosystems. It keeps nature balanced and supports food, medicine, and clean air. When species disappear, ecosystems can collapse. Pollution, deforestation, and climate change threaten biodiversity. Scientists study habitats and work to protect endangered species. Students learn about biodiversity through science projects, nature walks, and documentaries. Protecting biodiversity means caring for the planet and all its living things. Every creature plays a role in Earth’s story.
