What is ​
​Biodiversity?

WHAT IS BIODIVERSITY?

Biodiversity is basically a fancy word for nature. It was formed by merging together the two words ‘biological’ and ‘diversity’. It simply means the enormous variety of life on the planet. From the tiniest bacteria to the largest elephant... if it’s alive it’s part of biodiversity.

​The Irish word for Biodiversity is ‘Bithéagsúlacht’. If that’s a bit of a mouthful try ‘Dulra’ or ‘Nádur’....
