GK Quiz on Environment and Biodiversity

Biodiversity and climate health are very important for humans and animals as well. Most human societies rely on biodiversity directly for food, medicine, and livelihoods. Carbon sinks such as forests and wetlands regulate the climate and control climate change. Climate shifts accelerate habitat destruction, impacting forest ecosystems, grasslands, wetlands, and aquatic ecosystems. Shifts in climate can promote the spread of diseases and pests among both domestic and wild species.
