Biodiversity helps in maintaining equilibrium in the environment and also defines the manner in which different organisms interact with each other. It helps in maintaining the balance by recycling and storage of nutrients, stabilizing climate, forming and protecting soil, combating pollution and thereby maintaining eco-balance.
