They will examine the importance of biodiversity for natural life and discuss the factors that threaten biodiversity based on research data. Furthermore, the lesson aims to examine and exemplify the diversity of life in our country and the world from the Europeana education collections of plants and animals that are extinct or endangered and to explain why biodiversity is important and recognize the factors that threaten biodiversity.
