Biodiversity: Richness, Evenness, and Importance

This is intended as an instructional video about the basics of biodiversity. Biodiversity is a measurement of the variety of life. Species biodiversity is determined by looking at both, the number of species, and how common the species are relative to each other. Biodiversity is essential to the well-being of humans. The best thing we can do to promote biodiversity is to preserve and restore wild habitat.

Lovely presentation!

Any chance you would give me permission to re-narrate this into Khmer to use for our environmental education programs here at a local conservation NGO in Cambodia? It's perfect for a class I'm designing.

Can reforestation be carried out by cloning without compromising genetic diversity?

[@mahrukhrafique8545]

Can we apply diversity index for just 2 species of 3 different locations? like can we find evenness and richness of 2 species from 3 different locations?

[@jeaniewilliams6280]

If there are two species in a place, then the richness is two. Evenness requires counting the number of individuals in each species and comparing them to one another. Most biodiversity indexes require both a count of the number of species and a count of the number of individuals. If you have this information you can determine the biodiversity of as many different locations as you desire.

Yes, eat no meat! I admire that! Ethical

The visual appearance of this video makes it look dated (as of 2020 when I post this comment.) The actual material of narration is just a relevant as ever, though.
