Great infographic for your class discussion on biodiversity

Beth Dichter's curator insight, August 29, 2013 8:31 PM

This infographic, put out by the World Bank, looks at the state of biodiversity today. The sections include:

* Once a Species is Extinct, it is Lost Forever

* Threats to Biodiversity

* Why Biodiversity Matters

* Signs of Hope

Think about using this to help students learn and understand some of the issues related to biodiversity.

Sally Egan's curator insight, September 4, 2013 6:58 PM

A great series of infographics showing the decline in world biodiversity, the factors threatening biodiversity, why bodiversity is imoportant and hope for teh future. Compiled by World Bank it is useful for students in develoing knowledge and understanding of the importance of global biodiversity in topic Ecosystems at Risk.

Diane Johnson's curator insight, January 29, 2014 8:17 PM

Biodiversity is the key to a healthy ecosystem. Since there have been at least 6 mass extinctions in Earth's history, we can learn the stress this puts on all parts of the system and how to try to ameliorate the damage.

The Morpho Institute's insight:

Interesting...this very nice info graphic is produced by "Premium Brazilian Decking" which appears to sell selectively harvested rainforest lumber...Kudos for making the graphic, but it does present a conundrum....is this an example of "greenwashing" or is it a company with an environmental conscious?  

 

How is a consumer to know? Great question...why not pose it to your students and start digging in.
