International Biodiversity Day

International Biodiversity Day, celebrated on May 22 each year, aims to raise awareness about the importance of biodiversity—the variety of life on Earth. It highlights the need to protect ecosystems, species, and genetic diversity, which are vital for a healthy planet and human well-being. The day promotes understanding of how biodiversity supports food security, climate resilience, and economic sustainability. Initiatives often focus on conservation efforts and promoting policies that safeguard natural habitats. Each year, a specific theme addresses urgent biodiversity issues, encouraging collective action at local, national, and global levels to preserve our planet's rich biological resources.
