(different biomes like desert, tropical rainforest, ocean, tundra)

• Relationship?– More Biodiversity, More Sustainable– Less Biodiversity, Less Sustainable
More Biodiverse = More sustainable

Species• Native Species - Organism that naturally lives in
an area (original)• Invasive Species – introduced into an
environment by people– AKA – nonnative, nonindigenous, alien, exotic– No natural predators, so it often
grows/spreads/reproduces quickly– Takes over, native species die– Examples: Zebra Mussels, Pest, Weeds
