POEM FOR BIODIVERSITY
To you, biodiversity
You, the variety of living species on this earth!
Your biological resources are many values as ecological, economic and social;
This variety of plants, animals, aquatic species and human makes you so beautiful!
But now your beauty is become a center of illegal human activities by:
-Loss of habitat
-Deforestation
-Illegal-hunting
-Pollution
-The illegal use of plants.
Saving biodiversity by:
-Planting trees
-Conducting activities of education, protection and conservation of biodiversity
Because biodiversity is life, biodiversity is our life.
