Biodiversity includes the whole variety of life on earth, from the rainforests - to the coral reefs - to your school pond. Protecting and enhancing Northern Ireland's unique biodiversity is an important element of the Eco-Schools programme. Eco-Schools provides the vehicle by which we can educate and involve the younger generation , but that also helps educate the wider school community to understand the importance of biodiversity.

The biodiversity information packs below (one for primary and one for post-primary) will help schools complete Eco-Schools biodiveristy module helping them progress towards their Green Flag award. Each pack contains guidance and ideas on resources to teach biodiversity as well as case studies, downloads, and links to useful websites.
