The United Nations has proclaimed
May 22, The International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) to increase
understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues.
This year’s celebrations focus on
biodiversity as the foundation for our food and health and a key catalyst to
transforming food systems and improving human health.
The theme of 2019 ‘Our Biodiversity, Our Food, Our Health’
aims to leverage knowledge and spread awareness of the dependency of our food
systems, nutrition, and health on biodiversity and healthy ecosystems. The
theme also celebrates the diversity provided by our natural systems for human
existence and well-being on Earth, while contributing to other Sustainable
Development Goals, including climate change mitigation and adaptation,
ecosystems restoration, cleaner water and zero hunger, among others.
