== Facilitation tips == | |||
Very often this card is equated with animal biodiversity. However, it refers to both vegetal and animal biodiversity. If the participants only talk about animal diversity, it may be interesting to ask them to define what they call biodiversity. | |||

* Animal because the forest is a host to many species. The forest biodiversity index fell by 53% between 1970 and 2014. | |||
* Vegetal because of the 60,000 known tree species, 8,000 are considered threatened. | |||
