🦋 Biodiversity is defined as the variability among living organisms, including within species, between species, and of ecosystems. But did you know that primary forests are some of the most biodiverse places on our planet?

🐸 Globally, forests shelter up to 80% of terrestrial species (https://t.co/l5dcaPjIZc). Primary forests hold the highest density of biodiversity when compared to all other forest types, and they are home to innumerable endangered and endemic forest species (https://t.co/OPakWnFnHR).

🌏 We need to conserve and protect primary forests for the continued success of our planet and nearly every organism within it. Follow along as we continue to explore primary forests.
