BIOME  and what does it mean

We visited the Ostrava ZOO. We observed animals (for exemple the new baby elephant or the old grumpy lion) and we had a workshop about biomes.
We learnes what a biome is, what types of biomes exist and how a balance among animals, plants and natural conditions is necessary. We also discussed how certain biomes are endangered today by human activity and what can we do to help a little bit.
