Abstract
The science of biodiversity has become the science of our future. Our awareness of the disappearance of biodiversity has brought with it a long-overdue appreciation of the magnitude of our loss, and a determination to develop the tools to protect our future. This encyclopedia, for the First time in its completeness, brings together, study of the dimensions of diversity with examination of the services that biodiversity provides, and measures to protect it.
