Ecosystem diversityconsists of :
the inhabiting species in all their variety and richness. Many
different species, gene-pool abundance, and unique populations are
what most people think of when they hear the term "biodiversity".
Ecosystem structure
Ecosystem functions
refers to the physical patterns of life forms
Ecological processes create landscapes and diverse
environmental conditions out of life itself.

2010 GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY
CHALLENGE BEGINS THE RACE FORLIFE
Can we reverse the tide of environmental
destruction in seven years? The globalcommunity thinks it can, and aims to

On World Biodiversity Day the SecretaryGeneral of the UN calls for everyone tomake a pledge to generate momentum
towards its preservation.

Meeting the increasing demand for biological resourcescaused by population growth and increased consumption.
Increasing our capacity to document and understandbiodiversity, its value, and threats to it.
Building adequate expertise and experience inbiodiversity planning.
Improving policies, legislation, guidelines, and fiscal
measures for regulating the use of biodiversity.
Adopting incentives to promote more sustainable formsof biodiversity use.
