Introduction

Each species has its role in the world and

their position in the food chain. The

disappearance of a species causes a

breakdown of this harmonious link and

harms the environment.

Biodiversity

"Bio" means "life" and diversity means "variety". So

biodiversity is the variety of life forms that we find on

Earth.

The fauna is all animals of a region or a

country.

In Portugal, the wildlife is very diverse

because there are plenty of forests, woods

and pine forests.
