Interdependent ways of life

Biodiversity is not about long lists of animals. It is about the unfathomed complexity of interactions between living things and their physical contexts. There are scientific, aesthetic, social, and philosophical motives for trying to understand the interdependence of all life forms. Panama is unique in the world for its wealth of interdependencies.
