- Show us one of your favourite animal or plant species which is currently under threat (e.g. its population/survival is at risk, its habitats are endangered).
- Tell us how we can ensure we protect and restore this species (e.g. what actions can be taken by communities today
How can we protect the habitats and ecosystems within our regions?
- Show us one of your favourite places which is being impacted by biodiversity loss (e.g. a local national park, forest, beach, river).
- Tell us why this habitat/ecosystem needs to be protected and what actions communities can take to conserve this place?
