This infographic, put out by the World Bank, looks at the state of biodiversity today. The sections include: * Once a Species is Extinct, it is Lost Forever * Threats to Biodiversity * Why Biodiversity Matters * Signs of Hope Think about using this to help students learn and understand some of the issues related to biodiversity.
