What is biodiversity?



Listen and sing this great song about biodiversity:




Biodiversity, by Billy B


Bio-Bio-Biodiversity,
all life living in this community.
Bio-Bio-Biodiversity,
all around and inside you and me.
Bio-Bio-Biodiversity,
spaces, species, and the family tree.
Bio-Bio-Biodiversity,
so important to the world community.
I want, I want, I want whales in the oceans.
I want rhinos living free.
I want all forests growing.
I want Biodiversity.
We need rain forest medicine.
We need coral in the sea.
We need flower pollination.
We need Biodiversity.
Right Now!
It’s a big world we discover,
when we go out every day.
All the life forms live together,
interacting many ways.
Bees need flowers.
Flowers need bees.
That’s pollinating power!
fruit around seeds.
CHORUS
It’s a forest we discover,
when we’re there among the trees.
All the mushrooms and the beetles
and the worms under the leaves.
In the oceans, fish swim and feed
among the coral habitat they need.
CHORUS

Another cool song from Michel Montecrossa, a German artist who sings for the planet:



LIVING ON A PLANET
I'm living on a planet, living just like you.
I'm living on a planet, green and blue,
with raindrops sad like you.
We are weepin', we are cryin'
with the trees a-fallin' down,
with the monkeys and the flowers
that no more will see the dawn.
I'm living on a planet.
I'm living there – it's my home.
I'm a-lookin' at the waterfall, see the rainbow glow,
see the mountains and the valleys,
see from where we come,
see the time grow young.
See all that faded come back again,
see me living on a planet with you again,
you: my love and friend.



I'm living on a planet.
I'm living there – till the end.
I'm walkin' with you through a free dream
where we follow a living stream
that no one has ever seen.
We are laughin', we are smilin'
and the trees touch the sky.
And the monkeys and the flowers too
know how to smile.
Yes, we are living on a planet.
We live there – it's our life.
