Module 2: Our Human Need for Biodiversity (2 hours) Saturday, January 14, 2012- 10:00 to noon at St-Laurent Academy (641
Sladen Ave., Ottawa, Ontario)
Biodiversity is used in medical research and in our
food industry. It is directly connected to
the purification of the air and water, decomposition of wastes, recycling of
nutrients, the pollination of crops, and the regulation of our climate. Many cultural services are to be considered
here. Our global economy cannot function
without biodiversity.
We need more protected areas, not just
outside human cities, but inside as well.
We need connections between protected spaces so species can move from
one area to the next. We need to learn
how to live with wildlife in our backyards.
The students will partake in various
activities that connect seemingly unrelated everyday products to their biological
sources. A 5 Kingdom picnic is included! Reserve your attendance at lmleveille@rogers.com
