International Day for Biological Diversity

Biological diversity includes the various species existing in the world, the ecosystems and the ecological processes of which they are part. It is important for sustaining the various processes due to which life exists on the earth. Owing to the great significance biodiversity possesses, the United Nations has proclaimed May 22 as the International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) to spread awareness about biodiversity issues and make people understand how to preserve and protect biodiversity.
