Biodiversity is greater in BC than in any other part of Canada. The many species of plants and animals found here include some of the rarest in the world. We will take a close look at one of the most endangered species of BC, the Northern Spotted Owl, while also discussing the impacts and consequences of extinction. Discovering current rehabilitation efforts and our own personal responsibilities in maintaining species diversity will be emphasized.
