About
Biodiversity is a term used to describe the enormous variety of life on Earth. It can be used more specifically to refer to all of the species in one region or ecosystem. Biodiversity refers to every living thing, including plants, bacteria, animals, and humans. Scientists have estimated that there are around 8.7 million species of plants and animals in existence. However, only around 1.2 million species have been identified and described so far, most of which are insects. This means that millions of other organisms remain a complete mystery.
Over generations, all of the species that are currently alive today have evolved unique traits that make them distinct from other species. These differences are what scientists use to tell one species from another. Organisms that have evolved to be so different from one another that they can no longer reproduce with each other are considered different species. All organisms that can reproduce with each other fall into one species. Read more...

Oh yeah. When my family was contemplating ideal places to move to, requirement one was an English speaking country, number two was not Australia and their wildlife
If i were to move according to those requirements, purely based on weather and scenery i'd definitely be NZ but it's a bit remote unfortunately. Purely based on affordability it'd be India, maybe Pakistan but it's as safe there. Same for NZ. Canada seems to have amazing nature, but it's cold there. UK would be great if it didn't rain as much. Only English speaking country i wouldn't consider to move to is US, yikes.
Well I'm in Pakistan, which ruled out India and Pakistan.
Nz is remote and have no friends or family there. Know people literally everywhere else. Although i like the idea of nz. I love their cricket and comedy, both industries are small but impressive.
In the UK my career would get a boost (UK degree and certification). Canada sounds cool too. Us is just scary and inhospitable by the sounds of it. Even though I have a lot of family there, including people moving there now.
I believe there are lot of Pakistani in the UK, which might help if you don't know anybody but i don't know if the Brits would welcome you much warmer than americans would. But those are just assumptions based on stereotypes, you might up being received with open arms. Canada and NZ seem to me like the more exotic choice, but might also make it harder to find a job and meet new people. Though choice for sure.
Yeah I know many people all across the UK. It would be the most convenient place for me. Similarly know 10-15 people in Canada.
I'm gonna stick in Qatar for a year or two atleast though.
Cool, good luck. I guess there is a lot of money there, hope you load up lol
