📣 Drumroll, please! The correct answer to our #Trivia question is... A! In many regions of the world, moss tends to grow more abundantly on the north side of trees due to lower sunlight exposure. This natural phenomenon can serve as a helpful indicator for navigation in forests, as it can give a general sense of direction, with the north side typically being shadier and moister.

Without them, conserving agricultural biodiversity and improving our natural resource base – especially in fisheries and coastal management – would be a far greater challenge.
Let’s celebrate and support their vital work in sustaining our planet! 🌍✨
