Usage Note

Diversidad is always feminine and has no plural in its most common abstract use. La diversidad biológica (biodiversity) is often shortened to la biodiversidad. In social contexts, diversidad has become a keyword in equality discourse, much like its English counterpart. The 'v' is pronounced as 'b' — dee-behr-see-DAHD.
