Biodiversity is the fabric and engine of Life. Forest biodiversity is essential for a healthy and stable climate, fully functioning and healthy terrestrial, freshwater, and even marine ecosystems, resilience against stochastic events, and fundamental to the existence, security, and well-being of all life on Earth. This includes for each one of us and our economic, social, governing, food, industrial, and other systems in society. (Excerpts from Augeri, 2026) © Dave Augeri, Ph.D. “Look...
