🐝Biodiversity Week 2026 🌿

Let’s start at the beginning… what is biodiversity?

Imagine biodiversity as a lively neighbourhood. A place where people know each other, where the streets are full of life, and where everyone plays their part. The baker bakes bread, a teacher gives lessons, neighbours help one another. That’s what makes a neighbourhood warm, strong, and resilient.

Nature works the same way. Plants, animals, insects, and fungi all form one connected whole. Bees pollinate flowers, plants produce oxygen, animals help maintain balance. Everything is interconnected.

But today, this natural “neighbourhood” is under serious pressure. Species are disappearing, nature is growing quieter, and the balance is being disturbed. Yet we can bring this neighbourhood back to life. By making space for greenery and water. By giving plants and animals new opportunities. By working together to create more life in our surroundings. By restoring nature.

Knowledge is important. Seeing what lives around us. Understanding what is going well, and where improvement is needed.

That is why Biodiversity Week exists.
From 16 to 24 May 2026, we will work together to map the life around us.

Your role? It’s simpler than you think. Go outside. Look around. Discover what grows, crawls, flies, and blooms. Register your observations via the ObsIdentify app and help make our biodiversity visible.

Every observation counts.
