The Positive Power Of Biodiversity
by BornFree
WE CAN EVEN LOOK OUT FOR BADGERS WHO MAKE SETTS (BIG BURROWS) IN WOODLANDS AND HEDGEROWS BUT MAY COME INTO GARDENS AT NIGHT FORAGING FOR WORMS AND FRUIT.
EACH SPECIES PLAYS A ROLE IN KEEPING ITS HABITAT (THE AREA WHERE IT LIVES) HEALTHY, FROM BEES AND MOTHS POLLINATING PLANTS, TO BIRDS AND MAMMALS DISPERSING SEEDS, AND WORMS BREAKING DOWN LEAVES TO IMPROVE THE SOIL - THAT’S THE POSITIVE POWER OF BIODIVERSITY!

SNAIL GLIDING BY, OVER THE LEAF LITTER BIODIVERSITY IS THE NUMBER OF DIFFERENT LIVING THINGS (FOR EXAMPLE, PLANTS, ANIMALS AND INSECTS) FOUND IN AN AREA. TO MAKE A HOME FOR YOUR WILD FRIENDS, LEAVE PILES OF CUT BRANCHES IN A CORNER OF YOUR GARDEN FOR ANIMALS TO HIDE UNDER, PLANT POLLEN-RICH FLOWERS AND NETTLES FOR BUTTERFLIES AND OTHER INSECTS, OR INSTALL BIRD AND BAT BOXES.
