Why is biodiversity vital?

Strengthens Ecosystem Resilience
A rich tapestry of life can better withstand and recover from environmental stresses.

Supports Human Wellbeing
From the food we eat to the air we breathe, our survival and quality of life depend on the biodiversity around us.

Drives Innovation and Economy
Many medicines, products and technologies are inspired by the natural world, showcasing biodiversity as a key resource for innovation and economic growth.

You can make a difference.
Each of us has the power to make a difference, right in our own communities. Here’s how we can start:

1. Plant Native Species
Planting native plants and trees supports local wildlife, including bees, butterflies, and birds, which are crucial for pollination and maintaining healthy ecosystems.

2. Create Wildlife Habitats
Whether you have a large backyard or a small balcony, you can create spaces that welcome wildlife providing essential habitats for various species.

3. Support Local Conservation Projects
Get involved with local conservation groups or initiatives. Volunteering your time, donating, or simply spreading the word about their work can make a significant difference.

4. Practice Sustainable Living
Every choice we make has an impact. Choose sustainable products, reduce your carbon footprint and support businesses and policies that prioritise the environment.

Together, We Can Make a Difference!
