Science Students are to take part in Dublin City Council's Biodiversity Project in next door Herzog Park during the Spring term as part of the Rathgar Village Improvement Plan.
Biodiversity is the variety of all natural life and the interactions between organisms and ecosystems. It includes all aspects of nature and how they are interdependent. Biodiversity is about timing and evolution. Over thousands of years, components of an ecosystem have evolved carefully to support each other; leaves on a particular tree open at the exact time that insects emerge from ponds to feed off the leaves and this is the exact time that bats give birth and need those insects for food. This is biodiversity. A small change in this link can destroy an entire ecosystem.
Biodiversity provides us with essential services like food, medicine, clean water and air and a means of combating the negative effects of climate change and flooding. In a city, biodiversity provides us with a breath of fresh air and a natural environment in which to relax; it is vital for our well-being.
