What can you do to help?

Everyone has a role and a responsibility to protect Earth's biodiversity. We can do this by:

• using energy wisely, using cars less and using public transport more,
• making more use of environmentally friendly and recycled products,
• eating more organic food, and recycling more of our rubbish.

More directly looking after the biodiversity in your area, be that a garden, your school grounds or the local park will help a lot. You could create a wild corner in your gardens, with nectar rich flowers to attract butterflies and plentiful seeds and fruits for the birds. If you don't have a garden you could start a window box for plants.

You can also help by getting involved in activities at your school, community centre or through your local Biodiversity Officer who should be able to tell you about activities in your area.
