This interconnectivity of life is called <strong>biodiversity</strong>. From the majestic blue whale to the hardworking honeybee, the complex web of life we call biodiversity touches every inch of our planet, including our own backyards. 聽And now, more than ever, this life sustaining variety needs our help.<br/><br/>Recognizing that half of the world鈥檚 biodiversity has been destroyed since 1970, the OurEcho Challenge empowers and engages young problem solvers in understanding and protecting the amazing diversity of species essential for the future of our planet. 聽Teams of young leaders, ages 13-16, tackle the decline in biodiversity head-on by identifying threats to natural resources in their communities and developing an innovative solution and action plan in the form of a sustainable process or prototype.<br/></p></div><div class="side-content"><div
