Imagine you’re hosting a dinner party. Every guest is asked to bring a dish. Here’s how it plays out:

1. Sam brings an amazing wood-fired pizza.

2. Alex shows up with a rich chocolate cake.

3. Anahi prepares a fresh garden salad.

4. Ruby bakes the fluffiest rolls you’ve ever had.

Together, the dishes make for a perfect meal!

What would happen if everyone only brought pizza?

Imagine you’re the coach of a soccer team. You’ve got players with different skills:

1. Alex is the star forward, scoring goals like it’s second nature.

2. Jesus is the rock-solid goalie, stopping anything that comes near the net.

3. Angel is a midfielder, running tirelessly to connect the offense and defense.

4. Sam is a defender, guarding the goal and tackling opponents.

Alex, Angel, and Sam all get stuck in traffic and can't make it to the game in time. The only other players you can find are goalies.

What would happen if the team was made up of only goalies?

If everyone brought pizza then people wouldn't really want to eat just pizza and it would be more likely to go to waste. Pizza also isn't very healthy, especially by itself.

It's important to have more biodiversity to certain species don't go extinct.

increases the ecosystem's resilience, allowing it to better adapt to environmental changes, recover from disturbances like natural disasters, and maintain stability by providing a wider range of ecological functions across different species, ultimately supporting a healthy and balanced environment for all life within it.

# data[].attributes.body
When there is biodiversity, the species have more food resources. If there was limited species, they would have to compete for food and they wouldn't have much variety of food to choose from.

# data[].attributes.body
this is important because less of it will be more death

# data[].attributes.body
biodiversity is important because if there was less biodiversity then most of the ecosystem would be left in shambles

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is important to have Biodiversity because living things depend on each other for food and other things. It is what keeps an ecosystem alive.

# data[].attributes.body
It's important for ecosystems to have diversity because if there's too much of one species. Then when they get deceased many won't have get their food anymore.

It is important for ecosystems to have biodiversity so that they can thrive as each species plays their important role.
