Geodi­versity and biodi­versity are best friends!

Biodiversity encompasses all species of animals, plants, fungi and other organisms, such as bacteria and viruses, found on Earth. It also includes the variation between individuals of the same species and their genetic diversity.

Geodiversity is all around us. It includes rocks and mountains, cliffs and sand. It is the non-living part of nature, including the landscapes and geological features that provide the foundation for life.

In this way, geodiversity and biodiversity are closely connected and depend on one another.
