Why Biodiversity is Important to Me

I tend to like variety in life, for example, I like variety in cereals, variety in flowers, variety in styles of clothes, and a variety of people. With bio"variety" or in other words biodiversity I get a variety of life in one area. Biodiversity provides me variations of color, sounds, taste, and smell. It also helps to give me a higher quality of life.
     Without a large variety of plants I could not breath for the fact that we need many plants to provide oxygen. A variety of plants also provides me with medicine. A variety of animals and plants gives me a diverse diet. If a predator was removed from a food chain, because biodiversity may be being damaged, a species may exceed it's carrying capacity or another organism may die because the predator was what it fed on which would disrupt my food chain. I could come up with many reasons but for the most part these are the main reasons why biodiversity is important to me.
