Biodiversity

The Belfast Hills are home to a wide variety of animals, birds, plants, fungi and insects. This array of wildlife with all its genetic variation and the habitats in which wildlife lives is known as Biodiversity. Biodiversity is simply an abbreviation of ‘biological diversity’ and literally means the total variety of life on Earth.

We need you to tell us of any species you have seen while out and about in the Belfast Hills so we can record the information and provide for that species in years to come.
