Biodiversity is the measure of the diversity of living species in a specific habitat or ecosystem. It includes plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria!
Biodiversity boosts ecosystem health. The more diverse it is, the more equipped it is to adapt to change.
Your backyard is it's own habitat waiting to be discovered! Even if it may not seem likely, take a closer look, and it's teeming with life.
