National Biodiversity Month

September is National Biodiversity Month which means it is time to celebrate plants and animals.

 

Biodiversity is the variety of all living things around us. Australia’s biodiversity is rich and unique, it is home to more than 500,000 animal and plant species, many of which are found nowhere else – making Australia one of the world’s ‘megadiverse’ countries. Native vegetation is a vital component of our nation’s biodiversity with most of our plant species endemic to the continent.
