Did you know that it’s not only animals and plants that are protected as part of  conserving Biodiversity? Certain areas of land are protected too. These are called National Parks.

A National Park is an area that is protected because of it’s beautiful countryside, wildlife and cultural heritage. It is a public space maintained by the government to preserve nature, history or science.
