Healthy Habitats Help Us All

Biodiversity supports resilient ecosystems, which humans depend on in many ways. There's a lot we can do to help protect and enhance biodiversity. For example, we can decrease our energy consumption, which reduces pollution and improves air quality. In addition, we can practice sustainable landscaping, such as the planting of native species. This practice increases biodiversity in our own backyards, supporting native insects, birds, and other wildlife.
