Biodiversity is a term used to encompass all living organisms: from one celled amoeba, to insects, animals and plants. It encompasses the number, variety and variability of living organisms and how these change from one location to another and over time. Biodiversity includes diversity within species (genetic diversity), between species (species diversity) and between ecosystems (ecosystem diversity).

We are a group of youth from the Halton region in Ontario, Canada. We formed a year ago as a organizing committee for the 3^rd annual E-POWER conference. We all see the environment as being important and understand that biodiversity is key to the function of our planet. We are very committed to local and international work that promotes, restores and protects biodiversity. We accomplish this through our youth conferences on environmental topics, forest restorations projects, and school outreach.

We have recently taken on the task of joining a group of International Youth to create the Global Youth Accord on Biodiversity. We were part of the Second International Youth Symposium on Biodiversity in July of 2009. This is where we met other youth from around the world also interested in Biodiversity work, and we were chosen to write the accord. This accord will be presented at the COP 10 in front of the world leaders. One of the youth involved, Kirsten Falkenburger was able to take on a larger role as the Youth Accord Administrator, helping lead the work internationally.

Although we do projects through out the year, our main goal is to attend COP 10 in Nagoya, Japan in October 2010.

As youth we are very interested in the international forum. We see the relevance and understand how we are all connected. We believe that we have a better grasp of this since we have been raised in the age of technology and web based communication. We also have a connection to the environment and see how our actions in the past have effected the present state of the earth, which make us fear for our future. We are passionate about this cause and feel like we can make a positive change, which is what fuels our work. We created the t-shirts to help support us in our journey and are thrilled about the success they are having.
