The term biological diversity was used first by wildlife scientist and
conservationist Raymond F. Dasmann in the 1968 book A Different Kind of
Country. Biodiversity is an abbreviation word of Biological Diversity and
shows variation of life forms like species, ecosystem, biome, and planet.
Earth is occupied by many kinds of living organism and earth is estimated
to have 5 to 30 million of living organism. Biodiversity takes an important
part on the planet. Air, water, animals, plants, and human beings are all
linked one another in a system. United Nation once held a world summit in
Johannesburg on 2002 and it discussed about the significant of
Biodiversity and it is conservation to ensure earth continuation. Because
Earth has a vast range of living organisms, the scientist made a proper
classification to differentiate all living organisms. The study of diversity
can be learned at three level : Gene, Species, and Ecosystem.
