Biodiversity is a big deal - and no, it’s not just about having a few more birds in your garden. It’s about creating ecosystems that are healthier, more resilient, and able to withstand environmental stress.

The good news is you don’t need acres of land to make a difference. Even a small backyard can become a thriving habitat if you know what to do.

In this episode, I’m sharing practical tips on how to transform your outdoor space into a haven for wildlife, why insects are far more important than you think, and how small changes can lead to big improvements in biodiversity.

In this episode, I share:

• What biodiversity actually is (hint: it’s about species variety, not just animal count)

• Why monocultures harm ecosystems and why polycultures are much better

• How trophic interactions regulate ecosystems and keep populations in check

• The terrifying truth about insect population collapse -and why that matters

• How biodiversity supports agriculture, medicine, and even tourism

• Why pollinators, decomposers, and pest regulators are the unsung heroes of our ecosystems
