Nature & biodiversity · Illustrative project

How could we help a local habitat thrive?

Observe a nearby green space. Work with local experts to understand the living systems that depend on it.

← All project ideas

A starting point for inquiry, not a tested intervention. Develop the project with an adult mentor and relevant local experts.

Questions to investigate

  • Which species and people use this place?
  • What pressures affect the habitat?
  • Who should review our proposed intervention?

A possible public product

A habitat map and an expert-reviewed improvement plan.

How you might measure progress

Repeat observations over time, noting seasonal changes and the limits of your evidence.

Use AI thoughtfully

Use AI to develop interview questions or compare possible approaches. Check claims against original sources and local expert advice. Keep private information out of prompts.

Before you start

Agree access, permissions, safe observation methods and responsibilities with your school or adult organizer. Avoid collecting personal information and make sure proposed changes are reviewed by the people responsible for the space.
