Wildlife on the Coastal Prairie

From the graceful flight of the monarch butterfly to the stealthy movements of the bobcat, the coastal prairie is home to a diverse array of fascinating wildlife. What is biodiversity? Biodiversity is the variety of life in a given area and is crucial for maintaining the balance and health of all ecosystems. In addition to maintaining that balance, biodiversity helps reduce the effects of
climate change by slowing and storing floodwaters from extreme weather and providing resilient habitat for native plants and wildlife. Let’s take a look at the beautiful world of the coastal prairie and explore the significance of its biodiversity!
