Competent level
Why is biodiversity so crucial to the health of our planet, and how do we protect it? Biodiversity is one of the many things at risk from the climate crisis, but to understand how to protect it, we must first understand what it is and how it fits into the larger ecosystem. In this pathway, Samuel Temidayo Osinubi explores species classification, endangered lists, and methods of measuring biodiversity. This pathway will help you understand the key importance of biodiversity in ecosystem services and what can be done to conserve species threatened by climate change.
