                  Everyone knows that our a planet contains a teeming va-

               riety of life. Yet most people may never have reflected on
               this astonishing state of affairs, nor considered the great im-
               portance of this variety and how it must have come into be-
               ing. They may never have thought of the need to reflect on
               these things. Now, putting aside for a moment the perspec-
               tive stemming from familiarity, try to imagine a world with-
               out all these living things you know about.

                  First, picture an Earth in which there are no terrestrial or
               marine plants, no forests, and no trees. You will soon come
               to an obvious conclusion: Were it not for plants that perform
               photosynthesis every day, the oxygen essential for life
               would not be replenished, and for that reason, there would
               be no life on Earth apart from a few bacteria.
                  And what would the world be like without bacteria,
               whose species are estimated to number between 300,000
               and 1 million, most of whose scientific names are known

               only to experts? Yet even if we have very little knowledge
               about bacteria, members of a different world that we can-
               not see, there is still one indisputable fact: Life without them
               is inconceivable. Because the production of a large part of
               the oxygen in the atmosphere, its elemental cycles, the
               cleansing of the Earth and the breakdown of dead organ-
               isms into re-usable substances and many other vital process-

               es are all due to these microscopic creatures.
