The Bio-Bio Project

摘要

The words 'biodiversity' and 'bio-indication' carry complex meanings that are often intricate and not always understandable to the average citizen. The elaborate and diverse media-world of television, newspapers, magazines and scientific journals often speak of biodiversity, a new science and word that was coined twenty five years ago on the wishes of Jimmy Carter, the then President of the United States of America. Since the Rio Conference of 1992, discussions on biodiversity are an obligation in several sectors. In many cases, it is not possible to write an article on the state of the environment without introducing this magical word. Perhaps it is a word that is used too easily or without knowing its exact meaning. Certainly, not enough effort is made to safeguard and protect the biodiversity of our world as day after day, the number of species on the planet diminishes like spring snow when exposed to the sun.
