International Day for Biological Diversity is a United Nations-sanctioned day observed on May 22 for the promotion of biodiversity.
What exactly does ‘biodiversity’ stand for?
According to Grow-Trees.com, a social organisation responsible for planting millions of trees across India, biodiversity is the biological variety of life on earth that includes variation at the level of genetics, species, and ecology. Without biodiversity, the planet and by default the human race cannot exist in a state of balance, health, and sustainability.
Because of habitat degradation, ceaseless developmental activities, anthropogenic emissions, deforestation, and disrespect for other life forms, human beings are today facing the consequences of taking more from the Earth than they have given back.
