That includes 950, 000 species of insects, 270, 000 species of plants, 19, 000 species of fish, 9, 000 species of birds and 4, 000 species of mammals. This is only a small portion of the total number of species on Earth.

Detailed explanation-3: -Genetic diversity is the variety of genes within a species. Each species is made up of individuals that have their own particular genetic composition.

Detailed explanation-4: -Genetic diversity is the biological variation that occurs within species. It makes it possible for species to adapt when the environment changes. Genetic diversity is particularly important under rapid environmental change, such as in the Baltic Sea.

Detailed explanation-5: -SPECIES BIODIVERSITY: This refers to the variety of species occupying a particular area.
