Gorillas are ground-dwelling, predominantly herbivorous apes that inhabit the forests of central Sub-Saharan Africa. The genus Gorilla is divided into two species: the eastern gorillas and the western gorillas (both critically endangered), and either four or five subspecies. They are the largest living primates. The DNA of gorillas is highly similar to that of humans, from 95 to 99% depending on what is included, and they are the next closest living relatives to humans after the chimpanzees and bonobos.

Explain why increased ecosystem diversity contribute to increased biodiversity in the biosphere

Leto [7]

Answer: Diversity, referring to the state of having many different organisms cohabitate within an area is a desirable outcome for many ecosystems. The presence of a wide spectrum of different organisms allows for more life to be able to thrive in an ecosystem. For example, an ecosystem with a wide array of shrubs, grasslands and forested areas is able to accommodate more life forms than an ecosystem of just forest. This increased capacity to support life directly improves the capacity of the biosphere to support life as well, diversity leading to growth.
