Biodiversity is the measure of the variation of lifeforms in a given ecological system. Biodiversity provides ecosystems with the robustness, stability, and resilience that sustains them. This is ultimately essential for our survival because we depend on the services that natural ecosystems provide (food, fresh water, air, climate, and medicine). Despite this, human activity is driving an unprecedented rate of biodiversity decline, which may jeopardize the life-support systems of the planet if no urgent action is taken. In this article we show why biodiversity is essential for human health. We raise our case and focus on the biomedicine services that are enabled by biodiversity, and we present known and novel approaches to promote biodiversity conservation.
生物多样性是指在给定生态系统中生命形式的变化程度。生物多样性为生态系统提供了稳健性、稳定性和弹性，从而维持了它们的存在。这对我们的生存至关重要，因为我们依赖于自然生态系统提供的服务（食物、淡水、空气、气候和药物）。尽管如此，人类活动正在以前所未有的速度推动生物多样性的减少，如果不采取紧急行动，这可能会危及地球的生命支持系统。在本文中，我们将展示生物多样性对人类健康的重要性。我们提出了我们的观点，并重点介绍了生物多样性带来的生物医学服务，同时还介绍了已知和新颖的方法来促进生物多样性保护。
