Comprehension Passage
The Earth's biodiversity is immense, but estimating the total number of species is difficult. The IUCN notes over millions of described species. Biologists use statistical comparisons between temperate and tropical insect groups to estimate global species diversity. Conserving this biodiversity involves both in situ conservation and ex situ conservation. Both methods are crucial for maintaining biodiversity amid environmental changes.
