BIODIVERSITY YOUTH MENTORSHIP MODULE #2- OTTAWA, CANADA

THEME: OUR HUMAN NEED FOR BIODIVERSITY

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.     

The students were involved in various activities that connected seemingly unrelated everyday products to their biological sources. A 5 Kingdom picnic was included!
 
 
Cocoa beans were available to taste!


Module 3: Political Action (2 hours) Saturday, February 4, 2012- 10:00 to noon at St-Laurent Academy (641 Sladen Ave., Ottawa, Ontario). Reserve your attendance at lmleveille@rogers.com
