The UN has declared May 22nd as the International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB), to increase understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues.
This year’s theme, “We’re part of the solution”, continues the momentum generated last year under the principal theme, “Our solutions are in nature”, which served as a reminder that biodiversity remains the answer to several sustainable development challenges. From nature-based solutions to climate, health issues, food and water security, and sustainable livelihoods, biodiversity is the foundation upon which we can build back better!
In commemoration of the day, the EPPD requested that persons proclaim their continued commitment to the conservation of biodiversity by submitting creative photos of themselves with the caption “I am part of the solution”. These photos were compiled into a video, and the final product was released and shared on the EPPD’s social media pages on June 5th, World Environment Day.
