Our planet is home to some incredible habitats but many of these natural wonders are now at risk from human activity. From fragile mangrove swamps in India to the fast-decreasing icy wilderness of the Arctic to the vast oceans, the delicate balance of life in precious places all over the world is being put under stress. Climate change is harming habitats and our planet’s variety of life – its biodiversity – which is essential for us to survive. It provides the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. But we can help fight climate change and nature loss together!
Join WWF and STEM Learning this World Habitat Day to find out some fascinating facts about some of our most interesting habitats and find out what you can do to try and protect our planet.
