All living things, including humans, are connected. Each species—no matter how small—has an important role to play. In this new program, we explore biodiversity and its importance to maintaining the balance of nature. Without biodiversity as a safety net, nature’s survival would be at risk. Humans are by far the biggest cause of changes to biodiversity. How can we protect the biodiversity of the Earth? Terminology: biodiversity, genetic diversity, species diversity, ecosystem diversity, ecosystem, habitat.

This new 3-part series has been specifically designed for your elementary science curriculum. Short, concise, colourful programs introduce important environmental concepts and issues to students. These programs provide a wonderful introduction or overview of science essentials.
