Image Gallery: Biodiversity is Everywhere

Biodiversity is Life. It’s the International Year of Biodiversity, and here at the Australian Museum we want to explore what’s so amazing about life. Life is everywhere – from your eyebrows to your backyard, in your kitchen or in the park. We’ll be exploring this idea at the Museum throughout May 2010.

Here’s a selection of pictures showing the variety of places you can find life, from backyards to the ocean floor.
