Every creature on Earth plays a role in keeping our ecosystems balanced. Yet, habitat loss, pollution, and climate change are putting countless species at risk. Species Sunday is all about pausing at the end of the week to celebrate biodiversity and reflect on how we can protect the incredible variety of life around us.
Why Biodiversity Matters
1. Healthy ecosystems
Bees, butterflies, and birds pollinate the plants that feed us while predators keep populations balanced.
2. Human survival
Our food, medicine, clean water, and breathable air all depend on thriving ecosystems.
3. Cultural richness
Losing a species means losing pieces of our shared heritage.
Approaches to Supporting Species
Plant for Pollinators
Choose native flowers, shrubs, and trees that provide food and shelter for animals.
Create a wildlife-friendly yard
Leave a corner of your yard “wild” and set out a birdbath or build a bee hotel to provide safe habitats.
Reduce chemicals and pesticides
Avoid chemicals that damage soil, water, and pollinator health.
Support conservation efforts
Donate to your local organization that protects habitats and endangered species.
