      Biodiversity is the variety of life – the range of different life on Earth!

      Its defined as the range of different types of life, usually those present in a specific area. For example, rainforests have very high biodiversity (bio = life, diversity = range of different things) as they have a huge number of different species crammed into a very small space.
