Focus on Biodiversity
 Students!
  Understanding a big idea is so much more than just learning the facts. And,   biodiversity is one big idea! But, we’ve built a learning path to take you step-by-step   towards helping you understand it!
What Actions Can You Take to Help?

You have now learned a lot about what biodiversity is, what the threats are to biodiversity and how you and to conserve and preserve threatened areas. But what happens when a species is already threatened? Conservation and preservation will continue to help the endangered species around the world, but can you do something more? You can become an activist. You can help fix the problem.

Review your vocabulary words from the conservation and preservation area and then watch some of these videos to better learn what it takes to become an activist to protect biodiversity!
