International Day For Biological Diversity

International Day For Biological Diversity 2022: All You Need To Know


Biodiversity is a broad phrase that refers to the diversity and variability of life on Earth. It is self-evident that the ecological world's equilibrium is required for survival. Every year on May 22, the International Day for Biological Diversity commemorates the value of biodiversity.

The purpose of the day is to raise awareness about the environment and all species that live on this planet. It also encourages people to recognise and address similar concerns and issues.


Humans, the most evolved species on the planet, have a tendency to overlook its importance. Under the guise of development or progress, certain man-made activities end up destroying biological diversity. And it's time for humans to take notice and contribute to making the Earth a more welcoming habitat for all forms of life. The purpose of International Day for Biological Diversity is to raise awareness about the environment and all species that live on this planet.


Theme

Building a shared future for all life” is the theme of International Day for Biological Diversity for 2022. The theme was chosen to continue developing momentum and support the post-2020 global biodiversity framework at the forthcoming UN Biodiversity Conference (COP15).


History

The United Nations General Assembly designated May 22 as International Day for Biological Diversity in December 2000. When the United Nations conducted its "Earth Conference" in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992, special emphasis was placed on environmental conservation and protection. Following that, Biodiversity Day was observed on December 29 until 2000, when the date was changed to May 22.
