Biodiversity

Biodiversity is the fantastic result of three billion years of evolution.

Biodiversity may seem simple enough to define, in that it refers to the diversity of life on Earth. It is a terrifically powerful and concise word, which describes the immense and overwhelming number of living things on the planet.

One of the most fascinating aspects of biodiversity is the way individual species within an ecosystem interact with one another and their environment. Their survival depends on extraordinarily complex relationships with each other, and these relationships hold the key to successful conservation techniques

Biodiversity Action

Directly and indirectly, human activity has led to massive declines in global biodiversity. The UK alone has lost over 100 species in the 20th century. Many more have declined in number and range. Without active conservation more species will disappear, and habitats will decline further. We have a very great responsibility to preserve what is a set of life support systems - both for the present time, and for future generations. Biodiversity action is about ensuring a future for species, and the habitats on which they depend.
