Biodiversity is one of the things we are
passionate about here in the KnitPiC network. It's no secret that there is an
extinction crisis going on here on the planet. This is because habitats are
being lost at a rate of knots. And human activities have a lot to do with this.
We have been knitting furiously in an attempt
to understand what these extinctions mean. If three-quarters of all species
thought to live on Earth do so in rainforests, and rainforests are being cut
down at the substantial rate of about half a percent per year, what happens to
this percentage when there’s a catastrophic fire or a meteorite explosion in
the forest?
In our knitting and sewing, our darning and crochet,
we are working on a pattern for the ecosystems. We rely on them as much as other creatures on the planet and we want to keep them strong.
Yours in song
Mrs Polly Ester
