K-3 Grades K-3 Create a Schoolyard Habitat Presented by the National Wildlife Federation, this program encourages students, educators, and community members to learn about wildlife conservation by creating habitats for local wildlife on school grounds. Over 825 schools nationwide are certified. Learn how to start this program at your school, look at several active sites, and read about success stories from other schools. Earth Day Links from EELink Earth Day is April 22, but everyday can be Earth Day in your classroom, with help from this great page from Environmental Education on the Internet (EELink) . This directory links to dozens of sites on the Web that offer projects, activities, and ideas for celebrating this important event, and for educating kids about the importance of conserving and protecting our natural resources. Earthwatch Global Classroom The Earthwatch Institute provides a host of opportunities for teaching science in the classroom. This site provides information about Earthwatch Fellowships for K-12 teachers to participate in Earthwatch expeditions; Student Challenge Award Programs to reward gifted science students with research opportunities; resources for the classroom; and virtual field trips. Endangered Species Kids' Corner The GLOBE Program The GLOBE Programs brings together K-12 students and their teachers with scientists from around the world to learn more about our global environment. Students make scientific measurements for a host of environmental parameters, and then share their data on the Internet, where it is used by scientists and other students. Areas of interest on the site include: The GLOBE Teachers' Guide; Student Investigations; the Scientists' Corner; GLOBE Data; and Data Exchange. The GLOBE Program is an interagency initiative, whose members include NOAA, NASA, EPA, NSF, the Dept. of Education, and major research universities across the country.

Biodiversity
Biodiversity, or biological diversity, is a term coined to describe the immense variety and richness of life on this planet. Biodiversity includes not only the many species that exist, but also the diversity of populations that make up a species, the genetic diversity among individual life forms, and the many different habitats and ecosystems around the globe. The use of the term biodiversity grew out of a concern that efforts were needed to conserve, not just particularly charismatic animals, but the diversity of life around the world, including many plants and animals that will never grace a letterhead or be the focus of an international campaign. There are many ongoing efforts local, national, and international to balance the needs of human populations with the protection of endangered and threatened species. The basic unit of biodiversity is a species. How many species are there? No one knows, not even "to the nearest order of magnitude." One of the first challenges faced by conservationists is to answer this question. This is an enormous undertaking, because there are vast areas of the planet that are only now beginning to be studied. Areas such as the bottom of the ocean, for example, were once considered to be lifeless, but new technologies of exploration have revealed them to be full of life. New species are being discovered all the time. The black-faced lion tamarin, a new monkey in Gabon, a muntjak deer in Vietnam, and a pigmy beaked whale have all been discovered in just the last decade. The

Value of Biodiversity
Why is biological diversity important? Many arguments can be made from scientific, philosophical, economic, ethical, and aesthetic perspectives. Scientists argue that much remains to be learned about many species and ecosystems around the world and that the loss of these species would foreclose that opportunity. Certain rare species are singled out as worth saving for their sake; the loss of the Sumatran tiger, for example, or the rhinocerous would be mourned by many who have never seen these animals in the wild. There is great beauty in forests, coral reefs, savannahs, and other landscapes that is worth preserving for future generations, as well as our own, to appreciate. Natural resources also provide critical ecosystem services. Forests retain moisture in the soil and prevent erosion; hillside areas can be subject to mudslides where forests are cleared, resulting in loss of life and property. Of the approximately 1.4 million species that are known, almost one million are insects and other invertebrates, and these are, as E.O. Wilson has said, “the little things that run the world” by breaking down plant and animal matter and making it available as nutrients. Crop and forest lands provide food and wood for shelter and sustenance. The interactions between the living and the non-living parts of the environment provide essential ecosystems services of soil formation, climate control, and water recycling.

Why do we care?
The coral reefs of Southeast Asia and the Pacific are the most biologically diverse on the planet and make up some 45 percent of the global total. Millions of people in fishing communities derive their living–and most of their animal protein–from the rich fisheries that these reefs support. Reef-based tourism is also economically important in many areas.... Read more Institutionalizing the International Coastal Cleanup in the Philippines

The State of Philippine Biodiversity
According to the Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau (PAWB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the present knowledge of biodiversity in the Philippines is relatively inadequate and acquired mostly from studies done by foreign biologists during the early 1900s. Recently, more Filipino biologists and naturalists became more involved in taxonomic and biodiversity studies resulting to the identification of a number of species of plants and animals. The table below summarizes the level of biodiversity of Philippine flora and fauna based on the number of species per taxonomic group which have been documented by various scientists.

Threatened species and ecological communities
Australia is home to more than one million species, many of which are found nowhere else in the world. About 85 per cent of flowering plants, 84 per cent of mammals, more than 45 per cent of birds, and 89 per cent of inshore, temperate-zone fish are endemic - that is they are only found in Australia. Changes to the landscape and native habitat as a result of human activity has put many of these unique species at risk. Over the last two hundred years many species of plants and animals have become extinct. For the other species of plants and animals whose survival is threatened a range of management and conservation measures are in place. The Australian Government is working in partnership with state, territory and local governments, non-government organisations, tertiary institutions and community groups to ensure the protection of our native species.
