1.
Biodiversity: 
The variability among living organisms on the earth, including the variability within and between species and within and between ecosystems
2.
Biological Magnification: 
Refers to the process whereby certain substances such as pesticides or heavy metals move up the food chain, work their way into rivers or lakes, and are eaten by aquatic organisms such as fish, which in turn are eaten by large birds, animals or humans
3.
Conservation: is the scientific study of the nature and status of Earth's biodiversity with the aim of protecting species, their habitats, and ecosystems from excessive rates of extinction
4.
Ecosystem Diversity: 
Ecosystem diversity refers to the diversity of a place at the level of ecosystems. The term differs from biodiversity, which refers to variation in species rather than ecosystems. Ecosystem Diversity can also refer to the variety of ecosystems present in a biosphere
5.
Endangered Species: a species whose numbers are so small that the species is at risk of extinction
6.
Extinction: 
In biology and ecology, extinction is the end of an organism or group of taxa. The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of that species (although the capacity to breed and recover may have been lost before this point).
7.
Genetic Diversity: 
the level of biodiversity, refers to the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species. It is distinguished from genetic variability, which describes the tendency of genetic characteristics to vary
8.
Habitat Fragmentation: 
A process of environmental change important in evolution and conservation biology. It can be caused by geological processes that slowly alter the layout of the physical environment or by human activity, such as land conversion, that can alter the environment on a much faster time scale
9.
Invasive Species: 
Any species that has been introduced to an environment where it is not native, and that has since become a nuisance through rapid spread and increase in numbers, often to the detriment of native species
10.
Species Diversity: 
is an index that incorporates the number of species in an area and also their relative abundance. It is a more comprehensive value than species richness.
