Biodiversity & Conservation
📋 What it is
Biodiversity is the variety of life; conservation protects it because diverse ecosystems are stronger.
🗣️ Coach says
Biodiversity means the huge variety of living things — many species, many roles. It matters because diverse ecosystems are more resilient: if one species struggles, others fill the gap. Conservation is the work of protecting that variety, from tiny insects to giant whales.
🧠 Memory hook
Biodiversity = variety of life. More variety = a stronger, more resilient ecosystem.

Why are birds such great photographers?
They always have an eagle eye for detail!
😲 Whoa!
Scientists estimate MOST species on Earth haven’t even been discovered yet — we’re still finding thousands of new ones every year.
✅ Quick check: Why does high biodiversity make an ecosystem stronger?
Say your answer out loud first — then reveal.
With more species, if one struggles others can fill its role, so the whole system stays stable and resilient.
Diversity spreads out ecological roles, buffering against disruption.
