Biodiversity: What on Earth is it?
Centre for Life

A new exhibition at Life explores biodiversity and its impact on our world.

The word ??Biodiversity?? describes the variety of all living things ?? plants, animals and microbes and the places they are found.
 
Through colourful, informative displays, the exhibition looks at the positive impacts of biodiversity (such as food, medicine, clean air and water) and the negative impacts (antibiotic-resistant super bugs, alien plants, and new killers like bird flu). It explores the effects of the living world on humans and our influence on it.
