 The discipline of conservation biology has settled on biodiversity as its purported object of study. However, there is a serious debate over whether biodiversity is some natural possibly multidimensional feature or whatever is arrived at through procedures proposed in designing conservation area networks. And, some even have argued that it should be eliminated from scientific practice. It is possible by taking the ‘logical’ out of ‘biological diversity’ we have a politically expedient term which is scientifically problematic.
