"Biodiversity Enrichment in a Diverse World" ed. by Gbolagade Akeem Lameed

This book considered biodiversity (plants, animals, fungi, and microbes) from three different angles: genetics, species, and ecosystems. The scientific approach of the book demonstrates that the three levels are closely inter-connected and action is therefore needed to conserve and protect the systems if the benefits provided to human life will continue to be available.

Conservation of the biological diversity is essentially an umbrella term for traditional species, relationship to human health, ecosystem conservation and the need to manage the human use of the species and ecosystems in a sustainable way.
