• Biodiversity is the variety of living organisms in an area.
• A species is a group of similar organisms able to reproduce to give fertile offspring.
• A habitat is the area inhabited by a species.
• Areas that have a high biodiversity have lots of different species.
• Habitat diversity - the number of different habitats in an area.
• Species diversity - the number of different species and the abundance of each species in an area.
• Genetic diversity - the variation of alleles within a species.
