May 22 is International Bio-Diversity Day, Invest more into Bio-diversity
- There is more biodiversity within tropical ecosystems than temperate ecosystems. Tropical rain forests have the most diversity.
- The most diverse group of animals are invertebrates. Invertebrates are animals without backbones, including insects, crustaceans, sponges, scorpions and many other kinds of organisms. Over half of all the animals already identified are invertebrates. Beetles are some of the most numerous species.
- Science has so much more to learn about the biodiversity of microscopic organisms like bacteria and protozoa.
