ABSTRACT In this study, we aimed to understand the state of school grounds across Britain and how they are being used to support biodiversity conservation and pupils’ environmental education. We carried out an opt-in survey of schools across Britain, asking staff to report on habitats in their grounds and how they are used for learning. Our results showed that schools are under-using their grounds to provide habitats and environmental education. Realizing the potential of these spaces could be a vital tool in the future success of species diversity. This could be done through changes to the national curricula and teacher training.

英国校园在监测和改善生物多样性方面未实现的潜力

摘要 在这项研究中，我们旨在了解英国各地校园的状况以及它们如何被用于支持生物多样性保护和学生的环境教育。我们对英国各地的学校进行了一项选择性参与调查，要求工作人员报告其场地内的栖息地以及它们如何用于学习。我们的结果表明，学校没有充分利用他们的场地来提供栖息地和环境教育。实现这些空间的潜力可能是未来物种多样性成功的重要工具。这可以通过改变国家课程和教师培训来实现。
