Some pupils will be able to explain why there are differences in the prevention and recognition of the loss of biodiversity due to flooding in different parts of the world.

How does flooding affect biodiversity?

TASK: Produce a news report on the types of plants and animals affected by flooding in a particular area. Use books and internet to research your topic and present it in a lively/attention-grabbing way! Choose ONE of these topics to research: Sugar cane and cotton in Pakistan Buffalo and cows in Pakistan Cows and sheep in Cockermouth Wheat and Corn in Cockermouth Remember!
