Different kinds of random walks ('stochastic processes') can be used to express solutions to many fundamental equations found in science & engineering ('PDEs'). These can in turn be used to develop Monte Carlo solvers.

Here I visually catalog a few of the connections.

Socotra is considered the jewel of biodiversity in the Arabian Sea.

37% of Socotra’s 825 plant species, 90% of its reptile species and 95% of its land snail species do not occur anywhere else on Earth.
