I’ll take a short pre-survey to share what motivated me to join — and earn 15 points! (If I already took the survey by email, I’ll just mark this action complete to get my points.)

Some species are especially important because they help keep whole ecosystems in balance. I will spend 15 minutes learning about a keystone species near me and how it supports biodiversity and resilience.

Native plants provide food and shelter for local wildlife and help ecosystems adapt to change. I will choose native plants for my yard, balcony, or community space instead of non-native or ornamental species to support biodiversity resilience.

Diversity builds strength in ecosystems. I will spend 20 minutes learning how biodiversity helps nature adapt to change and maintain balance.

Wildlife observations can help researchers and communities understand and protect biodiversity. I will download a wildlife monitoring app and log 30 animal or plant species I discover.

Eating a wide variety of colorful fruits and vegetables is a simple way to boost our personal health and support a more resilient food system. I will prepare and enjoy 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day.

Removing invasive species (species that are not naturally found in my area and can outcompete native plants) can help beautify nature around me and protect local biodiversity. I will learn about invasive plants in my area and, if possible, support or participate in at least one effort to beautify nature near me by removing invasive species.
