La diversidad biológica es la variabilidad de organismos vivos de cualquier fuente, incluidos, entre otras cosas, los ecosistemas terrestres y marinos y otros ecosistemas acuáticos y los complejos ecológicos de los que forman parte; comprende la diversidad dentro de cada especie, entre las especies y de los ecosistemas. [...] La pérdida de la diversidad biológica está aumentando a un ritmo sin precedentes, amenazando la propia existencia de la vida tal como se entiende actualmente. El mantenimiento de la diversidad biológica es una condición necesaria para el desarrollo sostenible y como tal constituye uno de los grandes retos a que se enfrenta la era moderna. 2, record 1, Spanish, - p%C3%A9rdida%20de%20la%20biodiversidad
