Dashboard > Team > Team A Our Idea
Why did your team choose to focus on this challenge?If we don't start now animals are going to loose their homes, people won't be able to grow crops, there won't be enough trees to provide us with clean fresh oxygen. And in a couple of years this weather won't be reversible.
What have you learned about the challenge that you didn't know before?
There are 32 resident and 3 species of migrant butterflies - https://biodiversityireland.ie. 18% of the native Irosh butterfly fauna is under threat of extinctionm. A further 15% is Near Threatened (National Parks and Wildlife Services). Butterflies face a wide variety of threats including habitat loss, climate change, disease and pesticides (Butterfly Conservation www.xerces.org).
Outline the specific problem you would like to solve for your Hero and two or three solutions you think would help.
Bees, butterflies, and insects don't have enough food. We don't have enough flowers filled with nectar or pollen for insects. Birds don't have enough insects to feed their young ones, resulting in the baby birds dying. Equaling to the decrease of most kinds of birds. Our solution is to plant small flower beds where we can. If we get flowers planted and growing, then we can grow the bee, butterfly, and insect population. The increase of bees, butterflies, and insects will increase the population of birds. The increase of birds will increase of the need of more flower beds. Which will increase the population of bees, butterflies, and insects.
Ask your Mentor anything.
How would we go about doing this idea with the most promise to succeed?
