Book (stand-alone)Biodiversity Challenge Badge 2010The purpose of the United Nations Challenge Badges is to raise awareness, educate and, most of all, motivate young people to change their behaviour and be active agents of change in their local communities. Challenge Badges are appropriate for use with school classes and youth groups, and are endorsed by WAGGGS and WOSM. They include a wide range of activities and ideas that can easily be adapted by teachers or leaders. Additional badges are available or are being developed on a number of other topics, including: Agriculture, Biodiversity, Climate Change, Energy, Forests, Gender, Governance, Hunger, Nutrition, the Ocean, and Water.The importance of biodiversity goes beyond its value to human beings, all animals, birds, insects, plants, microorganisms, fungi and other creatures have the right to exist. Unfortunately, all is not well for the planet's biodiversity: biodiversity loss is occurring at an unprecedented rate. Unless we take action, we risk destroying nature's rich diversity forever. But what can be done.The Biodiversity Challenge badge aims to help young people answer this question. It is designed to raise awareness on biodiversity issues among children and young people and to provide them with knowledge that can help them become active agents of change in our society.
