The term "biodiversity" was first popularized by the American biologist Edward O. Wilson in the 1980s. It was coined as a contraction of "biological diversity" and used to describe the variety of life forms in an ecosystem, including species diversity, genetic diversity, and ecosystem diversity. The term gained traction during the first National Forum on Biodiversity in 1986, emphasizing the importance of preserving the planet's biological richness.
