ENVIRONMENTAL NEWS
Hey Kids,
Have you ever wondered what life would be like without
all the animals and plants that make our Earth special?
My friends at Pearson Education have given us some
great information on how we can look after the Earth
and keep our beautiful planet alive. Without our help,
we might lose all those plants and animals we love .
We can all help, no matter how young we are!
Do your part!
Imagine that the Earth is a web and
that every variety of life – plants,
animals, micro-organisms, humans;
the genes they all contain; and their
ecosystems – are all a part of this
complex web and are dependent on
each other for survival.
Glossary
Ecosystems: A variety of organisms that interact with each
other in order to live in an environment
Exploitation: When something is over-used to make money
Invasive: Something that invades or intrudes
Micro-organism: A microscopic organism
