Scenarios about 'biodiversity'
The variety of plant and animal life in the world or in a particular habitat, encompassing genetic diversity within species, species diversity, and ecosystem diversity. Biodiversity has shaped human history through agricultural development, medicine, technological innovation, and cultural practices, while human activities have dramatically altered biodiversity patterns globally. In alternate history scenarios, different conservation choices, altered colonial patterns, or technological developments could significantly change biodiversity distribution and humanity's relationship with the natural world.
