What is Biodiversity?
Biodiversity means the variety of life on Earth. It includes animals, plants, fungi and microorganisms. In simple terms, it’s about how many different kinds of living things share the same planet.
Children will learn how plants and animals live together in habitats, and how losing just one species can affect others. They’ll also look at how people can help protect nature.
