Without biodiversity natural selection would not work properly.  If all the organisms of a species were similar then there would be nothing to select for either they would all have a beneficial trait or would all have a hindering trait

Biodiversity, the variation of life forms within a given ecosystem, is important in natural selection because genetic variation among individuals and populations encourages adaptability to changes in the environment, which ultimately ensures species survival.
