== Explanation== | |||
Today, the Earth's biodiversity is being undermined above all by factors other than climate change, such as deforestation, disappearance of natural habitats, use of pesticides and various forms of pollution. However, climate change will largely contribute to the disappearance of species in the coming decades. | |||
== Facilitation advice == | |||
Very often this card is equated with animal biodiversity. However, it refers to both plant and animal biodiversity. If the participants only talk about animal diversity, it may be interesting to ask them to define what they call biodiversity. | |||

And also to plant biodiversity, as 8,000 of the 60,000 known tree species are considered endangered. | ||
