Biodiversity

2. - The natural environment where a particular species lives and thrives.
6. - Non-living components of an ecosystem, including temperature, sunlight, and soil.
7. - The diversity of genes within a species or population.
10. - Different types of living organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
12. - Species that have a disproportionately large effect on their ecosystem relative to their abundance.
14. - Non-native species that disrupt ecosystems by outcompeting native species.
15. - A group of individuals of the same species living in the same area.
17. - Species that are native to a specific geographic area and found nowhere else.
19. - The balance between human needs and the health of the environment, ensuring resources are available for future generations.
20. - The variety of life forms present in a given ecosystem, including species diversity, genetic diversity, and ecosystem diversity.

1. - The process by which organisms evolve traits that enhance their survival and reproduction in their environment.
3. - Species that are at risk of extinction due to declining population numbers.
4. - A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment.
5. - Species that are likely to become endangered in the near future if conservation measures are not taken.
8. - The permanent loss of a species from Earth.
9. - The preservation and protection of biodiversity and natural resources.
11. - The protection of natural areas from human interference to maintain their ecological integrity.
13. - A region with exceptionally high levels of species richness and endemism.
16. - The specific role or position that an organism occupies within its ecosystem.
18. - Living components of an ecosystem, including plants, animals, and microorganisms.
