The Majesty of Life :
When we say we want to save the world,
we use the word “Biodiversity” to encompass this entire concept-which,
granted, is a big one.
“Biodiversity” found on earth today consists of
many millions of distinct biological species, the product of 4 billion years of
evolution. But the word “Biodiversity”
itself is actually quite new.
“Biodiversity”
was coined as a contraction of “Biological
Diversity” in 1985
A symposium in 1986 and the follow-up
book Biodiversity (Wilson ,1986), edited by biologist E.O.Wilson, carved the way
for common acceptance of the word and concept.
And we were talking so
much about Biodiversity. Because The world has begun, relatively recently, to
lose species and habitats at an ever-increasing and alarming rate.
