Biodiversity: What is it and Why does it Matter?

Bioblitz London

Join the London Public Library and Dr. Nina Zitani for a virtual presentation about biodiversity!

City Nature Challenge: London, ON

Get involved in the City Nature Challenge to learn more about biodiversity!  Attend our informative webinars and join us on guided hikes to record observations of plants, animals and fungi using the community science app iNaturalist.

Biodiversity is essential for healthy ecosystems. In this virtual presentation, field research biologist Dr. Nina Zitani will explain what biodiversity is and why it matters. She will bring these concepts to life by sharing photos and stories from her field experiences around the world, and from her own backyard in London, Ontario. Dr. Zitani will also provide ideas for simple changes that you can make to help prevent biodiversity loss, including ways to make your own backyard biodiversity-friendly.

Help track biodiversity in London by participating in the City Nature Challenge! The CNC is an international community science event in which regions compete to make the most observations of nature. Community science data is useful for tracking trends in biodiversity and can inform local conservation management and land use planning. Participating in the CNC is a way for you to contribute to protecting wildlife and habitat in London! From April 28th to May 1st, make observations of wild plants, animals and fungi and upload the photos or sounds into iNaturalist. Check out CNCLdnOnt.ca for more details and a schedule of events including guided hikes!
