Explanation:

Biodiversity can be described as the different varieties of plants and animals which are present in a habitat. If biodiversity wasn't conserved then survival of most plants and animals species would become difficult whenever changes occurred. Without biodiversity, degradation of a habitat would occur. Hence, the conservation of biodiversity is very important for protecting the wild-life animals and plants. Biodiversity boosts up an ecosystem. No matter how small an organism is, their conservation is important for the maintenance of biodiversity.
