“Biodiversity is the variety and variability of life on earth.” (Wikipedia)

We have lost 68% of species worldwide since 1970. We can’t address this global tragedy if we do not name and know the species that surround us. Tim Dee’s words, quoted In Landmarks define this so well.

“Without a name made in our mouths, an animal or a place struggles to find purchase in our minds or in our hearts.”

My biodiversity project represents my own naming and knowing of species. I have been working on it for several years and now there are over a hundred species represented, plants, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and mammals.
