Biodiversity is the rich variety of life on Earth.

Here is a message from David Attenborough about the importance of biodiversity and the threat it is under:

And here is the Natural History Museum’s definition of Biodiversity:

At ACE, we want all life to flourish. To help increase the biodiversity of our school grounds we need to know what life visits us and what that life needs in order to thrive. Then we can try and help improve the habitats and see if that increases the biodiversity.

We are using the iNaturalist website and the Seek app to help us identify and record wildlife that we find. You can see our records here.

Here is some of the incredible life we find in school:

Birds

Mammals

Insects

Spiders

Molluscs

Plants

Trees
