The variety of life on Earth, its biological diversity, is commonly referred to as biodiversity. The number of species of plants, animals and microorganisms, the enormous diversity of genes in these species, the different ecosystems on the planet, such as deserts, rainforests and coral reefs are all part of a biologically diverse earth.  Appropriate conservations and sustainable development strategies attempt to recognize this as being integral to any approach. In some ways or form, almost all cultures have recognized the importance of nature and its biological diversity for their societies and have therefore understood the need to maintain it. Yet, power, greed and politics affected the precarious balance in our environment.
