What is biodiversity?

Biodiversity is a word used to describe all of the different forms of life on Earth, including:


Why do we need to take care of all these living things?

  • If we don't, they will become extinct and will no longer be found on Earth.

  • We need plants and animals for food, medicine and materials.


  • Are we taking good care of all the living things in our planet?

    No. Over the past twenty-five years, one quarter of life on the planet has disappeared.


    Why are so many forms of life disappearing?

    What can you do to help?

    Remember....

    Just as we need our parents and families, we also need animals and plants to live in this world. If we do not take care of them, they can vanish forever.
