The word "biodiversity" is a contracted version of "biological diversity". The Convention on Biological Diversity defines biodiversity as: Thus, biodiversity includes genetic variation within species, the variety of species in an area, and the variety of habitat types within a landscape. Perhaps inevitably, such an all-encompassing definition, together with the strong emotive power of the concept, has led to somewhat cavalier use of the term biodiversity, in extreme cases to refer to life or biology itself. But biodiversity properly refers to the variety of living organisms.

The concept of biodiversity can be divided up in levels such as: It is important to understand that these are all interconnected. As we know, several species are only found in specific areas, or ecosystems. We do not find many rainforest trees in the desert for example. Some species are adapted to specific temperature ranges or need a minimum amount of rainfall every year to survive [ie. rainforests] . Other species may live their whole lives on land except when it is time to mate. Frogs and toads, for example, lay eggs that need water to develop. Species may also be restricted to an environment because of other species, either because of competition that allows the stronger competitor to occupy the space [ ie. mangroves

    Extractions: Biodiversity, or biological diversity, is the variety of life on Earth and the processes and interactions that sustain it. There are three kinds of biodiversity: ecosystem diversity, genetic diversity, and species diversity. Ecosystem or habitat diversity refers to the variety of places where life exists?from rainforests to oceans, from deserts to wetlands. Genetic diversity refers to the variation of genes within species. When most people refer to biodiversity, however, they are talking about species diversity, or the vast complex of species that make up the living world.

    Extractions: document.write (afficheimage); Site Map Biodiversity in Québec Among its priorities concerning Québec’s Sustainable Development Plan, the government has implemented on November 25, 2004 its Strategy and Action Plan on Biological Diversity 2004-2007. The Strategy and the Action Plan on Biological Diversity are the outcome of a vast public consultation and an interministerial commitment aimed at promoting the preservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. Biological diversity, also referred to as biodiversity, is the term given to all the species and ecosystems that make up Planet Earth as well as the ecological processes of which they are a part. Biological diversity encompasses all that is living, including the variations created by genetic manipulation and selective breeding. This diversity forms the biosphere, that mix of organisms that makes it possible for human beings to exist on our little blue planet. Quebec is one of the biggest regions in North America, covering nearly 1.7 million square kilometres. This territory, which is three times bigger than France, is home to almost 40,000 wild plant and animal species, millions of domestic animals and a whole range of horticultural and agricultural crops. An inventory of Quebec's natural entities includes tundra, taiga, spruce and balsam fir forests, hardwood forests and the St. Lawrence River.

There is an urgent need for accessible information on the likely impacts of climate change on biodiversity. As measures to address climate change and cope with its effects are increasingly deployed, it is also critical to analyse their possible benefits and risks to biodiversity and ecosystem services. UNEP-WCMC works with a wide range of partners, including members of the Cambridge Conservation Forum climate change group. We are now actively developing projects, seeking new partners and looking for support in order to use our resources in the unfolding debate.
