Detailed explanation-1: -It has been shown that biodiversity of an area has a large impact on the ecosystem stability of that area. Areas with high levels of species and genetic diversity are likely to have a more complex ecosystem, with a variety of food webs and biotic interactions.

Detailed explanation-2: -The relationship between biodiversity and sustainability is direct. Biodiversity is the variety of species living in an ecosystem. Areas with high biodiversity have more complex interactions between organisms, and this complexity helps the ecosystem maintain homeostasis.
