Happy New Year - of Biodiversity!

These webs seen on our gate during the picturesque, wintry days that ushered in the International Year of Biodiversity remind us of the great interdependant and interconnected web of life.

The United Nations has declared 2010 as International Biodiversity Year. Biodiversity is all of Earth's life: microbes, people, plants and animals and the places in which they live (habitats).
Biodiversity is all around us, from gardens to hedgerows, bogs to woods and mountaintops to coastlines.
Let us take the opportunity we have during this year to stop and appreciate all the beauty of the diversity of life around us and take the steps needed to safeguard it for the future.
We depend equally on each other for survival.
