Biodiversity Conservation

Biodiversity is a state or attribute of a site or area and specifically refers to the variety within and among living organisms, assemblages of living organisms, biotic communities, and biotic processes, whether naturally occurring or modified by humans. Biodiversity can be measured in terms of genetic diversity and the identity and number of different species, assemblages of species, biotic communities, and biotic processes, and the amount (e.g., abundance, biomass, cover, rate) and the structure of each. It can be observed and measured at any spatial scale ranging from microsites and habitat patches to the entire biosphere. (D. DeLong. 1996.
