Biodiversity - The variety of living organisms
considered at all levels, from genetics through species, to
higher taxonomic levels, and including the variety of habitats
and ecosystems.
This issue's "Small Bird Gets Big Boost" story focuses on the diversity-related plight of the light-footed clapper rail, a highly endangered coastal bird. The Captive Propagation Protocol project aims to maintain biodiversity by curbing the effects of species decline. For this species and others like it, long-term survival will depend not only on increased population numbers but bio-diverse, protected habitat as well.
