Let’s get into the garden, to join the “eco-awakening”

We could lose up to 1 million kinds of creature and plant as humans spread ourselves over the planet and make it dirty. But a new report shows that people are “waking up” to solutions for the problems of biodiversity. And we bring you our spring gardening tips so that you too can get busy outdoors to be a friend to birds, plants and insects!

Problem?

Pollution, climate change and loss of wild spaces are all being caused by humans and have resulted in big declines in the numbers of animals and insects in the world. Up to 1 million out 8 million animal and plant species are at risk of disappearing. Losing biodiversity is bad for all of us.

Solution!

Learning about the problems and solutions and sharing what we know with others are important. A WWF report has found that more and more people are getting involved in helping the planet. And at this time of year, turning your garden or balcony into a haven for wildlife is a great idea!

The report for  the WWF, carried out by the Economist Intelligence Unit, was published on May 18 and can be found online here.

Our biodiversity expert Gaby made a fascinating video tutorial on wildlife gardens with Fanny. It’s in French here.

And Gaby’s own website is here.
