Earth is the only planet known to harbor life; it is the only planet that has a biosphere. Not only is Earth inhabited, it is inhabited on a grand scale, with an unimaginable diversity of life forms. There is hardly a location or set of conditions that does not have an organism that has evolved to live in it. Viruses invade the cells of other organisms. The fungi that cause athlete’s foot (Trichophyton) thrive in the damp spots between a person’s toes. Epiphytes grow atop other plants. Tuna race across the oceans in search of their prey. Giraffes munch leaves no other animals can reach. Desert beetles collect dew on their bodies as their only source of water. Bats snap insects from the air. Humans use intelligence to gather food, avoid predators, and create comfortable living and working environments.

The world's deserts represent unique ecosystems which support significant plant and animal biodiversity.
