You want your business to be healthy and make money. Imagine you sell shirts. If you only sold a black shirt with a heart you are limited and if white shirts go out of style you are out of business. If you have a variety of shirts as fashion changes you are better able to adapt to these changes and continue to make money.
As biodiversity increases the ecosystem has a greater ability to adapt to changes.
Biodiversity is broken down into three types
