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.
Answer: b)deforestation : People cut down forests to produce palm oil for example. The animals and plants of the forest are destroyed or lose their natural habitat and DIE.
Bullies hurt people to make themselves feel better. They are often victims too.
There are lots of sorts of bullying :
- hurting people physically
- forcing them to give money or homework
- hurting people pyschologically, with insults or rumors
- isolating people
- cyber-bullying on social networks, like Facebook, with photos, videos and comments
- laughing at people
- disrupting a pupil's work during class
And finally, a short film. Winner of 9 international film awards, this stunning short film set in the rural wheat belt of Western Australia, provides a candid insight into the life of Ronan (David Lazarus), a 14 yr old boy who's been bullied at school his whole life.
