In ESS topic 3, we examine how the process of evolution has led to the diversity of life on Earth and how we can measure that diversity. We also explore how people can both threaten biodiversity and conserve it, depending on their actions.
You can find resources for each subtopic by following the links below.
3.1 Biodiversity and evolution
- How can diversity be explained and quantified, and why is this important?

3.3 Conservation and regeneration
- How can different strategies for conserving and regenerating natural systems be compared?
- How do worldviews affect the choices made in protecting natural systems?
Pages for the current ESS syllabus will remain active through the last exams scheduled for 2025.
