Biodiversity refers to the variety of living species （plants，animals and microorganisms） in their natural environments and the aggregate of the related ecological processes. It is measured on three levels： genes， species and ecosystems. Biodiversity is the basis for human survival and development and has a direct bearing on our wellbeing. Humans must respect nature and fol-low its ways. We must conserve biodiversity to protect nature and live in harmony with it.In 1972， at the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment， the attending nations signed the Declaration of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment，which included the conservation of bio-resources in its 26 prin-ciples. In 1993， the Convention on Biological Diversity came into effect， which set three objectives - the conservation of biological diversity， the sustainable use ofits components， and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the utilization of genetic resources， ushering in a new era for the protection of global biodiversity.
