September is National Biodiversity Month.
Biodiversity is the variety of all life forms on earth – the different plants, animals and micro-organisms, and the ecosystems that are their homes.
Here at Merici we are continuing with the Biodiversity Restoration and Re-Wilding Project.
Why does this matter?
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.

While the origin of these words has been attributed to several sources, the words are as relevant today as they were when they were first spoken in the 1800's.
Something to think about......

The sun came out on a winter's day in August for 20 students from the Sustainability at Merici (SAM) student group who gathered to do some rewilding with local species from the Yellow Box- Blakely's Red Gum Grassy Woodland, one of Canberra's key ecosystems.
Thanks to Merici's maintenance staff who prepared the area everything was ready for a great planting session.
Work began as the girls spent their lunch hour planting to provide habitat for small native birds and butterflies.

A Biodiversity Restoration project has commenced at Merici College which will have short-term and long-term stages. Given the decline in Australian wildlife and biodiversity and Australia having the highest rate of species extinction in the world, largely due to land clearing and use of synthetic chemicals, it is important for Merici to make our contribution to the solution. Merici can provide an important travel link and food source for wildlife between Black Mountain and Mount Ainslie.
