Biodiversity

Species diversity is the number of species in a given area. Did you know that Manitoba is home to over half a million different species? By increasing biodiversity in your piece of the planet, you will be supporting the stability and resiliency of our natural ecosystem.

Genetic diversity refers to the availability of differing genes (the blueprint for organisms) within a population. The more genetic variation, the easier it is for species to adapt to changes in climate, for example.
