Abstract
'Biodiversity' is all to often used as a "buzz-word", with no clearly defin ed meaning, let alone a strict procedure to measure it. This article propos es a logical procedure, based on a similar approach in socio-economics (to measure income inequality). Every element in our logical procedure is known . Bringing it all together as presented is new, as far as we know.
