Biodiversity
Information

Biodiversity is one of the important pillars of human life. Biodiversity provides important resources for agriculture, industry, fisheries and forestry. The richness and diversity of living things are also important for many important foods, medicines, and raw materials used by both traditional and local communities, as well as global consumers.

The National Development Planning Agency/ BAPPENAS (2003) states that biodiversity has several values, namely the value of existence, environmental services, heritage, choice, consumption, and production. The safety and health of ecosystems greatly affect human social relationships and provides environmental products and services that are critical to the well-being of human life in the present and future.
