The International Day for Biological Diversity is celebrated on May 22 each year to raise awareness about the importance of preserving the planet's diverse ecosystems and species. Established by the United Nations in 2000, this day highlights the critical role that biodiversity plays in sustaining life on Earth, including human health, food security, and climate stability. Each year, the day focuses on a specific theme related to biodiversity, encouraging individuals, communities, and governments to take action. Activities may include educational programs, conservation efforts, and discussions on policies that protect natural habitats and promote sustainable practices, ensuring a healthier planet for future generations.
