What is biodiversity?
Biodiversity is a term which means the variety of life on Earth, or 'biological diversity'. Everything from algae to elephants, bacteria to blue whales! This amounts to something between 5 and 30 million species! Biodiversity also encompasses the genetic variation between species and variation between ecosystems and habitats in which these species live.
Biodiversity has the same meaning as nature and includes common plants and animals as well as those that are rare.
