International Year of Biodiversity

Biodiversity is the variation of life forms within a given ecosystem, biome, or for the entire Earth. 2010 is International Year of Biodiversity. This BBC News article reminds us all about the rapid biodiversity loss that is taking place around the globe: "...human expansion is wiping out species at about 1,000 times the "natural" or "background" rate, and that "business as usual is not an option".
