  2. Eco and Biodiversity – Miss Newman • Do you love animals and learning about wildlife? • Are you interested in finding out about habitats and ECO-systems? • Do you want to find out more about conservation and preservation of the animals and the environment? • If your answer is YES…then the Eco and Biodiversity VLG is the place for you!! • Biodiversity is … EVERYTHING! It is all the living things on the planet – plankton, wildflowers, insects, mammals, reptiles, trees and birds – and all the habitats in which they are found – oceans, woodlands, meadows, wetlands and man-made areas like wasteland, fields, parks and canals. • Biodiversity impacts us all – all species require the basic resources provided by the ecosystem to stay alive. Human life is dependent on the inter-relationships between all the living things and habitats in the eco-system. We therefore need to consider carefully the effects of human activity on biodiversity and whether the balance between development and preservation is the correct one. • Within this ECO and Biodiversity group we will be in-charge of promoting and improving the biological potential of our local area, you will be a valued member of the ECO committee and play an important role in completing and implementing our Action plan and… help Low Port work towards our 5th green flag!!! • This VGL will include activities such as… • *Caring for local habitats, plants and animals. • *Using the outdoor areas to learn about biodiversity and teaching others. • *Making choices which consider the preservation and conservation of the eco-system. • *Learning about the outdoors through work in the school grounds and our special Secret Garden. • If this all sounds exciting and interesting to you then please pick this ECO and Biodiversity VLG. • Look forward to seeing you there! 
