Ozone and Biodiversity - Celebrating World Environment Day 2020



Healthy ecosystems comprise of interdependent webs of living organisms and their physical environment, are all vital to the biodiversity of the Earth. Throughout Earth’s history, healthy ecosystems have usually been resilient enough to adapt to gradual environmental changes. Biodiversity, the variation of life on Earth, is a major factor in its resilience. It is often the most overlooked species that are the most important to sustaining the biodiversity of Earth. A damaged or depleted ozone layer allows more Ultra Violet Radiation (UV Rays) to reach the surface of the earth. This affects many fundamentally important ecological processes that underpin biodiversity.
