Biodiversity is a cornerstone for the world to build a shared future for all life on Earth. Under the theme of we are part of the solution, the International Day for Biological Diversity on May 22 this year provides a new chance for the world to discuss solutions to issues including biodiversity loss, climate change, and pollution.
Biodiversity and ecosystems are essential for human health and progress. However, the continued deterioration and degradation of nature have threatened the livelihoods of species. A UN report in 2019 found that around 1 million animal and plant species now face extinction, many within decades. This number is more than ever before in human history.
