“Biodiversity is an attempt to invoke the splendour of the living world with a single word,” writes Candace Savage in the June issue of Canadian Geographic. “Just six syllables but they flood the mind with images: fish, bright as petals, dart through a coral reef; herds of caribou stream across frozen lakes; bees thrum, wings beat, buds burst with greenery.
