| Biodiversity |
|
| Biodiversity refers to the totality of genes, species and ecosystems of a region. Biodiversity differs from place to place. The living world abounds with enormous biodiversity. |
| |
|
| Systematic work on identifying and naming the many species has been in progress for the last 250 -300 years. But the known and described number of species of all organisms on the earth is between 1.7 and 1.8 million which is just about 15% of the total number existing. New species are being discovered faster than ever before due to the efforts of projects like global biodiversity information facility. |
