There are three keys aspects to the term Biodiversity;

• The variety of habitats and ecosystems created by communties of plants and animals such as a meadow, a pond or a woodland.
• The variety of species that make up these communties, such as the different flowers in a meadow, insects in a pond, or fungi in a woodland.
• The genetic diversity among members of the same species, such as the slightly different colours, sizes or flowering times of the flowers in a meadow.
