Biodiversity Conservation Network

What is Biodiversity? Biological diversity, or biodiversity, is the variety of all forms of life on Earth. Its complexity is measured in terms of variations at genetic, species, and ecosystem levels. Ever-responding to natural forces and human activities, the Earth's biodiversity is in a constant state of flux. As we'll see below, biodiversity plays a critical role in meeting human needs directly while maintaining the ecological processes upon which our survival depends.
