Diver­si­ty is a fun­da­men­tal prop­er­ty of the liv­ing world. It results from the adap­ta­tion of organ­isms to their envi­ron­ment and from var­i­ous inter­ac­tions between organ­isms. It’s a key para­me­ter of the self-main­te­nance abil­i­ty of ecosys­tems. How­ev­er, bio­di­ver­si­ty is in rapid decline, which, in syn­er­gy with cli­mate warm­ing, affect the via­bil­i­ty of Earth. Bio­di­ver­si­ty is also a source of solu­tions to mit­i­gate and adapt to glob­al changes.
