The Amazing Diversity of Life on Earth
Humans are the dominant species on Earth with our big cities and advanced technology. But we are just one species among many. According to a study published in 2011 in the journal PLoS Biology, there are 8.7 million species on our planet.
The study found that there are 7.8 million species of animals, 298,000 species of plants, 611,000 species of mushrooms, 36,400 species of protozoa, and 27,500 species of algae. But that’s not all! The study did not even include the vast number of bacteria, which means the true number of species is even higher. It’s amazing to think about all the life forms that share our world!
