From Edward O. Wilson, world-renowned natural scientist and pioneer in efforts to preserve and protect global biodiversity:

There are three levels of biodiversity that we’re trying to save: ecosystems, then the species in the ecosystems, and then the genes that prescribe traits of the species that make up the ecosystem…

Explore here didactic genetic diversity infographics using flagship species of OneEarth ecoregions with cited human pressures and Ensembl Genome Assembies of popular species.

Note: This gallery is a curated sample of Ensembl species and genome assemblies, selected for broad biological and visual diversity. It is not a complete continuously updated genome catalogue and the genome graphics are simplified representations rather than literal chromosome or sequence maps. Images generated using Google Gemini (2026).

Why And Biodiversity? To learn of the interconnectedness:

	Agroforestry Systems		Conservation Measures		Water Pollution		Coral Reef Benefits		Global Warming
	Chemical Substances		Unsustainable Activities		Wetland Role		Species Health		Food Production

Give me a land of boughs in leaf
A land of trees that stand;
Where trees are fallen, there is grief;
I love no leafless land.

…And one remembers, and one forgets,
But ’tis not found again,
Not though they hale in crimsoned nets
The sunset from the main.

-“Give me a land of boughs in leaf”
A.E. Housman
