What is biodiversity? Biodiversity is an abbreviation for biological diversity.
Biological diversity is the variety of all life, the variety of plants and animals
and the range of areas where they live. Biodiversity includes species, habitats
and genetic diversity. Biodiversity includes everything from microscopic insects
to the largest whale, from tiny algae to huge ancient trees. Biodiversity is more
than just a few rare animals and plants it is the variety of all living species
and the habitats which they live in. Biodiversity does not just include wildlife,
it is the variety of all life including domestic animals, crops and humans. |

the place where, 50 years ago, constellations of lesser celandines dazzled my
child’s eyes in every hedge. They still do, every spring. But 50 years ago
I had no name to call them by, and there was nobody to ask. It’s where I
saw my first bee orchids, all of 45 years ago. They too are still abundant in
Offaly, though not in the places I first saw them.
