 A lack of diversity in nature often leads to unintended and sometimes disastrous consequences. In healthy ecosystems, a balance between predator and prey keeps everything in check. But today, diversity is under attack—driven by fear and misunderstanding.

Nature offers countless warnings. Streets once lined exclusively with Elm trees were devastated by Dutch Elm disease due to monoculture planting. Rainbow trout are now vulnerable to whirling disease, a result of limited genetic diversity. Ash trees are dying off rapidly because of an invasive insect, with little resistance across the uniform population.

These are just a few examples. When we strip diversity from the equation—whether in nature or elsewhere—we weaken the system, leaving it fragile and exposed.
