Today, I stand before you to advocate for an initiative that not only enriches our environment but also showcases the magnificent wonders of biodiversity.

One of the best benefits of having a frog bog is having natural pest control instead of using bug spray and wasting money over and over.

Think about the poor innocent children whose blood is being stolen by mosquitoes and as well being bothered and annoyed by flies just image having a frog bog, the frogs are natural pest control eating insects which takes away those announces and save our children so they can continue play.

Having a frog bog is not only good for pest control bit it also stops people from using bug spray which not only smells bad but if that gets in your mouth it leaves a horrible and disgusting taste in your mouth the frogs just do the work for you, so you just sit back and relax.

This links back to my point to my point the frogs are natural pest control and the importance of having a frog bog.

Pollination support is one of the many ecological benefits that a frog bog provides.

Biodiversity has been on a rapid decline at McClelland College for the past 10 years due to the lack of pollinators, frog bog has a variety of flowering plants these produce mass amounts of nectar, which is perfect for the pollinators, this increases our biodiversity at McClelland College as well as our school environment.

These pollinators will carry pollen around the frog bogs habitats enhancing plant diversity in the area, maintaining our biodiversity at our school.

This will in fact help with the lack of biodiversity in our school and shows the importance of a frog bog.

Climate regulation is another important benefit that frog bogs provide for the environment.

Frog bogs act as a natural carbon sink, absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis, wetland plants including these found in frog bogs capture Co2 and convert it into organic matter which is then stored in the soil.

By making habitats and planting more plants WE can help reduce carbon, WE can prevent climate change WE can save the planet.

This shows the importance of not only a frog bog but making a more habitable planet.

This is why I believe, and you should believe in the importance of frog bogs and expanding the biodiversity at McClelland College.
