Biodiversity

In this photo, which was taken at Buskett, a good example of a habitat for flora and fauna can be seen. When the term ‘Biodiversity’ is used, what is meant is the degree of variation of life forms within a given ecosystem, biome, or an entire planet. Buskett is the only semi-natural woodland in the Maltese Islands and it is home to many animals and plants (fauna and flora), so we should be aware and protect this semi-woodland. We should not litter this habitat; on the contrary we should take care of it. Buskett is the habitat of various species of flora, such as trees and different species of plants; some of them are endemic (which means that are found only in Malta, in this semi-natural woodland). Also different types of faunae are found in this habitat.
