The day highlights the importance of biodiversity, which includes the variety of plants, animals, microorganisms, and entire ecosystems on Earth. It aims to raise global awareness about the need to conserve and sustainably use natural resources. Biodiversity plays a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance, ensuring food security, supporting livelihoods, and regulating the climate. However, it is increasingly under threat due to rapid urbanization, pollution, deforestation, and climate change, making its protection more urgent than ever. Proclaimed by the United Nations, the day is observed annually with a specific theme to strengthen global efforts toward biodiversity conservation and sustainable development.
