| Biodiversity | ||||||||||||
| Ecosystems are areas where things live. Ecosystems that are biodiverse are home to a variety of plants and animals. A healthy ecosystem is one with a lot of biodiversity. Imagine if humans could only eat one kind of food, say corn. We'd be in big trouble if all the corn disappeared. Besides not having anything to munch on at the cinema, we'd have nothing to eat at all. Luckily, our ecosystem covers a big part of the Earth, and there are lots of different plants to eat. Ecosystems are not as simple as one living thing eating another, as the corn example. The lives of animals and plants are intertwined - what happens to one animal can have an impact on all sorts of living things. As humans, we have a big effect on the other living things around us. We are the only animals to leave lots of stuff around, such as houses and cars. It's important for us to think about the choices we make and how they will affect the other living things around us. Remember: The Earth is not just our home, it's home to all living things. Without those other living things, there would be no you or me. In this programme, Bill literally sets-up office in an ocean, forest and field to communicate with nature and show what happens when one link falls out of nature's chain | ||||||||||||
