International Biodiversity Day

Biodiversity provides the ecological goods and services that sustain all life. Of the million of species of animals, plants and micro-organisms on earth, some 18000 are becoming extinct annually owing to mindless environmental interference by humans. The UN proclaimed this day to increase awareness and understanding of biodiversity issues.
