The heritage of a village is usually of three types: material, cultural and biological. The first two of us understand them quite well because they are the basis of our daily life. However, the third is not properly valued: it is an inexcusable strategic error, which in the near future will bring more and more regrets. Biodiversity is, in fact, a great potential source of material wealth, generally not exploited. However, the world's biological heritage is suffering a terrible alarm: in the next 50 years there will be no place for most animals and plants. However, the integrity of the living beings of this planet is unexplored; the research of this biodiversity is one of the great challenges of current science and, at the same time, one of the most urgent needs of all humanity. 400
