The International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) is an annual event aimed at raising awareness about the importance of protecting the planet's rich and varied ecosystems. Diverse ecosystems are essential for human wellbeing, economic development, and environmental sustainability. This day serves as a reminder that safeguarding our planet's biological resources is critical for present and future generations. The IDB, established by the United Nations in 2000, has particular relevance for the United Kingdom due to the country's diverse array of species and habitats. Ongoing concerns, such as habitat loss, invasive species, and climate change, have led to a marked decline in British biodiversity in recent decades. The UK government has made various commitments to address these issues and increase the resilience of the country's ecosystems. Typical activities in the United Kingdom during the IDB include educational events, seminars, and nature walks that raise awareness on a wide range of environmental topics. Various organisations, including NGOs, schools, and local communities, host these events with the aim of fostering greater understanding and appreciation of the country's biodiversity. The International Day for Biological Diversity takes place on May 22 each year, offering UK citizens and organisations a dedicated occasion to celebrate the unique natural world that surrounds them, and to engage in efforts to protect it for generations to come.
