Biodiversity is often defined as the variety of all living things on earth. From the tiniest micro-organisms to the largest land and sea mammals, this rich tapestry of life makes up our global biodiversity. Nature brings many benefits, from the provision of food and medicine through to clean air and water.

For many, nature-connectedness also enhances our physical and mental wellbeing. And, of course, it helps mitigate the effects of climate change.
