Biodiversity Month

We celebrate Biodiversity Month every September and promote the importance of:
– connecting with nature and
– caring for nature in all its diversity – its biodiversity!

Nature is valuable and we need nature. It provides the building blocks for our survival, such as food, clean air, water, and shelter. Nature also supports our health and wellbeing, and our economy. And while we need nature, nature also needs us.

This is a national, government-supported month.

Australia is a special place – full of diversity

Australia is one of a group of only 17 ‘mega-diverse’ countries.

These mega-diverse countries cover less than 10% of the world’s area but have more than 70% of its biodiversity.

Many of our plants, animals and places are unique and are not found anywhere else in the world.
