2.1 The Understanding Biodiversity Chapters
Initially, the majority ofUnderstanding Biodiversitywill be divided into seven chapters - one chapter for each
kingdom and one chapter devoted to expeditions. There are also introductory chapters, discussing biodiversity,
global climate change and the Encyclopedia of Life. As the repository of information grows, the six kingdom
chapters may be divided into a six-volume set, with additional divisions as necessary. However,Understanding
Biodiversitywill be maintained on-line, thus the size of the chapters is not restrictive.
