Today marks the International Day for Biological Diversity, a United Nations–sanctioned day dedicated to raising global awareness and understanding of biodiversity issues.⁣ ⁣ Observed annually on May 22, it highlights the importance of protecting ecosystems and halting the unprecedented loss of life on Earth.⁣ ⁣ This year’s official theme is "Acting locally for global impact", and the campaign connects local, grassroots initiatives with the 23 targets outlined in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, which aims to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030.⁣ ⁣ #news #biodiversity #nature #animals #plants #Earth ⁣
