Biodiversity III - Our Turn
Monday, April 23, 2018 |
| New Forest Biodiversity Field Guide |
An excellent course, the three most important things I learned were :
- biodiversity works -- the science shows that more variety results in a healthier, more robust environment which will be even more important in a changing climate
- humans by far have the biggest impact on our planet
- humans also have the biggest ability to have a positive impact
There are big causes you can connect with such as the [ Convention on Biological Diversity ]
Or you can choose activities that directly affect you.
This is where you may appreciate the new [ Field Guide to Forest Biodiversity Stewardship ]
Very practical and action oriented, in the 131 pages you will find:
- things in your forest that encourage diversity like cavity trees and coarse woody debris
- special habitat like deer wintering areas and dens
- water courses (golden for promoting diversity)
- soil
- species at risk
As a member of the species that currently sets the agenda, what are you going to do to make the world a little better place for all?
