Biodiversity Day, officially known as the International Day for Biological Diversity, is celebrated on May 22nd each year. Established by the United Nations, this day aims to raise awareness about the vital role of biodiversity in sustaining life on Earth and promoting human well-being.
The date was chosen to coincide with the adoption of the Convention on Biological Diversity in 1992. Biodiversity Day serves as a platform to highlight the importance of conserving diverse ecosystems, species, and genetic resources. Each year, a specific theme is selected to address current challenges and encourage collective action towards biodiversity conservation.
The day involves various activities such as educational programs, community events, and initiatives to emphasize the interconnectedness of all living things and the necessity of preserving biological diversity for a sustainable and resilient future.
