22 May | International Day of Biodiversity

22 May is International Day of Biological Diversity.
The United Nations has proclaimed May 22 The International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) to increase understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues. 
Theme for 2016 is: Mainstreaming Biodiversity; Sustaining People and their Livelihood

Biodiversity is the foundation for life and for the essential services provided by ecosystems. It therefore underpins peoples’ livelihoods and sustainable development in all areas of activity, including economic sectors such as agriculture, forestry, fisheries and tourism, among others. By halting biodiversity loss, we'll invest in people, their lives and their well-being.
