More and more, we are becoming aware of what the challenges of biodiversity loss and climate change mean for our society; but how much do we know about the ground beneath our feet?
Soil; we walk on it everyday, but we don't think too much about it. We should. Our soil is home to one quarter of our planet's species, and it forms the second largest carbon pool on Earth. In this International Year of Biodiversity we cannot continue to neglect this crucial and fascinating habitat. |
