Biological diversity allows myriad species to work together to maintain the environment without costly human intervention. Thus, biodiversity is an irreplaceable natural resource crucial to human well-being. Habitat destruction, pollution, invasive species, overexploitation, and global climate change have led to an accelerated decline in biodiversity in recent decades. As a result, the current rate of species extinctions is estimated at one hundred to one thousand times greater than the natural rate. If the biodiversity decline is not slowed, Earth will be much less inhabitable for future generations.
