Answer:
Walter G. Rosen
The term 'Biodiversity', coined by Walter G. Rosen in the year 1985 (Wilson, 1988) is a relatively new compound word of the longer version 'Biological Diversity', which was introduced by Lovejoy (1980) to express the number of species present in the community.
Mega means large so mega diversity means a large number and wide range of species present in an ecosystem. As India is very rich in the diversity of plants and animals, so it is called as mega diversity centre .
