From Edward O. Wilson, world-renowned natural scientist and pioneer in efforts to preserve and protect global biodiversity:

There are three levels of biodiversity that we’re trying to save: ecosystems, then the species in the ecosystems, and then the genes that prescribe traits of the species that make up the ecosystem…

favicon | And Biodiversity

A Rock, A River, A Tree
Hosts to species long since departed,
Marked the mastodon,
The dinosaur, who left dried tokens

Of their sojourn here
On our planet floor,
Any broad alarm of their hastening doom
Is lost in the gloom of dust and ages…

-“On the Pulse of Morning”
