Recently published by the scientific journal Science Advances, the research referred to the cascading extinctions of animals and plants on the planet, which could lead to the loss of up to 27% of biodiversity by 2100. This means that if a certain species becomes extinct, another predator species of the extinct one could appear and disappear as it runs out of food.

The same thing will happen to plants, because if pollinating insects become extinct due to harsh heat, they will also disappear because there will be no insect to pollinate them. This study proves, once again, that all species depend in some way on others.

The benefits of rich biodiversity lead to a balanced equilibrium of ecosystems and their respective food chains, noted Science Advances, so their resources are maximized, where energy waste is minimal, and if biological diversity is limited there will not be a healthy ecosystem with very detrimental repercussions for the planet.

Having a rich variety of flora and fauna means a great productivity and improves the possibility of taking advantage of all resources it provides.
