This level of diversity is key to providing ecosystem services, natural products and processes that benefit humans, such as climate regulation, pollination, and food. The annual value of ecosystem services is estimated to be at least $53 trillion.

While only 1.5 million species have been described, there are estimated to be 8-11 million species on Earth. Species richness is a key source of new pharmaceuticals.

Without genetic diversity, a species or population risks susceptibility to new diseases. When all individuals are genetically similar, it is less likely that some will have disease-resistant genes.
