The word "biodiversity" is a contracted version of "biological diversity". The Convention on Biological
Diversity defines biodiversity as:"the variability among living organisms from all sources including, inter alia,
terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are a part; this includes
diversity within species, between species, and of ecosystems." Thus, biodiversity includes genetic variation within
species, the variety of species in an area, and the variety of habitat types within a landscape. Perhaps inevitably,
such an all-encompassing definition, together with the strong emotive power of the concept, has led to somewhat
cavalier use of the term biodiversity, in extreme cases to refer to life or biology itself. But biodiversity properly
refers to the variety of living organisms. Biological diversity is of fundamental importance to the functioning of all
natural and human-engineered ecosystems, and by extension to the ecosystem services that nature provides free of
charge to human society. Living organisms play central roles in the cycles of major elements (carbon, nitrogen, and
so on) and water in the environment, and diversity specifically is important in that these cycles require numerous
interacting species. General interest in biodiversity has grown rapidly in recent decades, in parallel with the
growing concern about nature conservation generally, largely as a consequence of accelerating rates of natural
habitat loss, habitat fragmentation and degradation, and resulting extinctions of species. The IUCN Red List
estimates that 12-52% of species within well-studied higher taxa such as vertebrates and vascular plants are
threatened with extinction. Based on data on recorded extinctions of known species over the past century, scientists
estimate that current rates of species extinction are about 100 times higher than long-term average rates based on
fossil data. Other plausible estimates suggest that present extinction rates now may have reached 1000 to 10,000
times the average over past geologic time. These estimates are the basis of the consensus that the Earth is in the
midst of the sixth mass extinction event in its history; the present extinction event is termed the Holocene Mass
Extinction.

Medievalism in literature denotes a recapture of the spirit and atmosphere of the Middle Ages. Among the
romantics, Coleridge, Scott and Keats, dealt with medieval life, touching upon those aspects of it, which were
romantic. The most important centres of influence in the Middle Ages were the Church and the Castle. The
Romantics did not care much about the religion of the Church, though they felt attracted by its colourful aspects.
They therefore let alone the religion and faith of the Middle Ages.They laid stress upon the romance of chivalry and
love one on the hand, and, on the other, upon superstitions and legends with supernatural background. Coleridge
dealt with the supernatural in his Ancient Mariner and Christable; his suggestion of the weird mystery of
supernaturalism in these two poems in unequalled in English poetry. Keats struck the note of supernaturalism in La
Belle Dame Sans Merci. Medievalism with all its paraphernalia of romance and legend, love and adventure, is most
prominent in The Eve of St. Agnes. La Belle and Ode to a Nightingale. The setting of the poem, La Belle
Dame Sans Merci is medieval. We have here also medieval accessories-the knight-at-arms, the cruel mysterious
lady, a faerys child, the elfin grot, and the spell and enchantment and general supernatural atmosphere. La Belle
is one of Keats great achievements. It is medieval ballad. The Eve of St. Agnes, on the other hand, is overloaded
with excessive details and is marked by gorgeous, high-flown style. La Belle is in
the simple style of a ballad, and tells a supernatural story with a medieval atmosphere.
