Overview

Your school has a unique ecosystem, with a diversity of flora and fauna. That makes it a great place for students to learn about nature, biodiversity, and sustainable practices. But every ecosystem faces threats from human actions, including climate-change effects and habitat loss. Sustainability strategies must take local biodiversity and conservation into account.

To help your school be greener and boost biodiversity, you’ll need to know what to look out for. That includes how to recognise different animals, bugs, and birds that live in your school grounds, as well as the threats they face. Then you’ll be able to make better environmental decisions and empower students to protect biodiverse spaces.

By the end of this course, you'll be able to:

• Identify flora and fauna in the school environment and recognise ways to increase biodiversity and improve conservation
• Recognise threats to biodiversity, to make informed environmental decisions
• Identify how to promote biodiversity preservation to safeguard biodiversity’s future
