visit the link below and use the information to answer the following question. why is biodiversity important? who cares? name three ecosystem services provided by biodiversity.

Explanation:

To answer this, we recall common ecosystem services from biodiversity. Provisioning services (e.g., food, water, timber), regulating services (e.g., climate regulation, pollination, water purification), and cultural services (e.g., recreation, spiritual value) are key. Three examples: 1. Pollination (regulating, helps crop production). 2. Water purification (regulating, wetlands filter water). 3. Food provision (provisioning, diverse species for nutrition).

Answer:

1. Pollination (helps in plant reproduction and crop yield).
2. Water purification (wetlands and aquatic organisms filter pollutants).
3. Food provision (diverse plants/animals as food sources).
