Biodiversity in Ecosystem Health

This dataset provides information on various species across different taxa, detailing their roles in ecosystems, threats they face, and their conservation status. It includes entries for mammals, plants, fish, birds, insects, and algae, illustrating the interconnectedness of species and their environments.

  • Species Name: The scientific name of the species, representing its identity in the biological classification.
  • Type: The classification of the species, indicating whether it is a mammal, plant, fish, bird, insect, or alga.
  • Habitat: The natural environment where the species is typically found, such as forests, rivers, or marine areas.
  • Role in Ecosystem: The functional role the species plays in its ecosystem, such as predator, producer, or scavenger.
  • Threats: The major risks and challenges facing the species, which may include habitat loss, climate change, or pollution.
  • Conservation Status: The current standing of the species with respect to its risk of extinction, ranging from "Least Concern" to "Critical."
  • Benefits to Ecosystem: The positive contributions the species provides to its ecosystem, which may include activities like pollination, nutrient cycling, or food production.
