As we wrap up biodiversity week, thank you to all the producers and consumers who call our natural lands home. Without you, the world would be a very different place.

This week we’ve been celebrating biodiversity week. All the producers and consumers in the habitat lands have their own unique and special role in an ecosystem. That balance can be thrown out of whack by removing one species.

Below it is a food chain with five bubbles of differing colors (yellow, orange, blue, purple, pink) and labels (producers, primary consumer, secondary consumer, tertiary consumer, and quaternary consumer). It is in a circle flow indicating dependency on one another.

It is Biodiversity Week.

In every food chain, producers like plants capture energy from the sun, while consumers—herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores—depend on them and each other. It’s nature’s cycle of energy flow!

Keynote Usna Keating, Cork City Council, makes a case for the incredible value today in being able to access the knowledge in the Ussher Bird Notes Digital Archive.

Ex. The collection documents the Golden Eagle, which was nearly swept off the land by trapping 125 years ago.
