To raise environmental awareness and highlight the importance of preserving biodiversity in light of current climate challenges, and as part of the ongoing practical activities of the Department of Climate Change in the College of Environmental Sciences, first-year students conducted a field survey of the University of Mosul gardens to study biodiversity and its relationship to climate change using the Shannon-Wiener index, a well-known measure for assessing biodiversity. Accompanied by a group of faculty members from the department, the students conducted a field survey of the University of Mosul gardens to study biodiversity and its relationship to climate change.

Samples were collected and data analyzed to assess the impact of climate change on plant and animal species in the university garden.

The experiment aimed to enhance students’ understanding of the importance of biodiversity and its role in ecological balance, study the impact of climate change on local ecosystems, and apply scientific criteria such as the Shannon-Wiener index to measure biodiversity. It also aimed to enhance field research and environmental data analysis skills.
