Biodiversity crisis is worse than climate change, experts say Date: January 20, 2012 Source: University of Copenhagen Summary: Biodiversity is declining rapidly throughout the world.

Biodiversity, a portmanteau of biological diversity, generally refers to the variety and variability of life on Earth. According to the United Nations Environment Programme, biodiversity typically measures variation at the genetic, the species, and the ecosystem level. Terrestrial biodiversity tends to be greater near the equator, which seems to be the result of the warm climate and high primary productivity. Biodiversity is not distributed evenly on Earth, and is richest in the tropics.
