🌍 International Day for Biological Diversity – 22nd May
“Be Part of the Plan”
Observed on 22nd May every year
Every year on 22nd May, the world comes together to observe the International Day for Biological Diversity, a United Nations–designated day to celebrate the incredible variety of life on Earth — and to remind us how urgently it needs our protection.
In 2025, the theme “Be Part of the Plan” is a bold and timely invitation for every individual, community, and nation to take part in restoring nature and securing a sustainable future.
🌱 Why Biodiversity Matters
Biodiversity is more than just a list of species — it is life itself. From microscopic organisms enriching our soils to vast forests breathing life into our planet, biodiversity forms the foundation of our existence.
- Ecosystems like wetlands, coral reefs, and rainforests
- Genetic diversity that keeps species resilient
- The interconnected web of all living beings — including humans
When biodiversity thrives, so do we. It provides:
- Clean air and fresh water
- Pollination for crops and food security
- Resilience against climate change
- Medicines, materials, and cultural inspiration
⚠️ The Crisis We Face
- Nearly 1 million species are at risk of extinction
- 75% of land and 66% of marine environments are heavily altered
- Human-driven threats like pollution, overuse, and habitat destruction
We are living through the sixth mass extinction — but unlike previous ones, this crisis is human-driven and reversible.
🌍 “Be Part of the Plan” – 22nd May Action Call
- Protect 30% of land and oceans by 2030
- Restore degraded ecosystems
- Reduce pollution and unsustainable consumption
- Respect Indigenous knowledge and community rights
🖌️ Artists & Earthkeepers
- Create art about endangered species
- Tell stories that reconnect people with nature
- Use platforms to spread environmental awareness

- Plant native species

🧭 A Shared Future
The 22nd May observance reminds us that we are part of nature — and its future depends on us.
Let Earth not just survive — but thrive and sing with life.
