Habitats

If we care about biodiversity, we should worry less about species and more about habitats. We are all familiar with Save the Species campaigns – and we should care enough to want to save them. But if we save or restore their habitats the species will save themselves. The problem is that we’ve taken away or poisoned the land, food, shelter and water that are necessary for fauna and flora to survive. Even in our gardens, we can create thriving habitats: water basins, leaf litter, bee hotels, wild patches, log piles and native trees and flowers. Make homes for wildlife.
