Biodiversity

Biodiversity represents the variety of life in a place.

Biodiversity is all around us. Big or small, from the bacteria in your stomach that helps you digest your food, to the plants and animals that live in and around your home, street, neighbourhood and city. It is this variety of life that makes our environment unique and resilient, especially in a changing climate. Most importantly it provides us with clean air, water and a stable environment in which we can live, work and play.

Learn about the variety of biodiversity in Adelaide, its threats, what the City of Adelaide is doing to protect it, and how you can explore it.
