• Ever since the happening of the earth summit at Rio De Janeiro, Brazil the
term “BIODIVERSITY” has become a buzzword. In fact it is the
contracted form of Biological Diversity .

identified as the variability among living organisms and the ecological
complexes of which they are part, including diversity within and between
species and ecosystems.

genes, species and ecosystems”
