A.P.E. Fund Biodiversity Loss (Animals) A project that protects the incredible species that call your community home. What comes to mind when you think of Biodiversity? Is it the plants and animals in your backyard, from the ones you can see to the ones that you can’t? Biodiversity is a concept that connects us all—the plants and animals around the world depend on each other and a healthy habitat for survival. This includes us! Without the insects, plants, animals, bacteria, fungi, and everything in between, we would be unable to survive. With the your Roots & Shoots program, you can take action as a citizen scientist and directly or indirectly protect biodiversity in your community. Examples of past projects applicable to this theme: Pollinator Gardens that support local biodiversity Habitat enrichment activities (beehives, bird houses, bat houses) Youth-organized community event that includes Elder teachings on local Indigenous plants/animals Apply A headline for the stats Irure Dolor 22% duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit Irure Dolor 49% duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit Irure Dolor 84% duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit Resources Our Resource section includes things like our Climate Change Curriculum Guide and our Biodiversity Guide.
