What is Biodiversity
What is Biodiversity
Biodiversity describes the variety of life on Earth, including the 8 million plant and animal species on the planet,
the ecosystems that house them, and the genetic diversity among them.
Biodiversity is a complex, interdependent web, in which each member plays an important role,
drawing and contributing in ways that may not even be visible to the eye.
The abundant foods we eat, the air we breathe,
the water we drink and the weather that makes our planet habitable all come from nature.
The global organizer of Earth Day and the largest recruiter of environmental movements worldwide,
announced today the theme for Earth Day 2023 – “Invest in Our Planet.”
“In 2023 we must come together again in partnership for the planet.
Businesses, governments, and civil society are equally responsible for taking action against the climate crisis,
and lighting the spark to accelerate change towards a green, prosperous, and equitable future.
We must join together in our fight for the green revolution, and for the health of future generations.
The time is now to Invest in Our Planet,” said Kathleen Rogers, President of EARTHDAY.ORG.
Investing in a green economy is the only path to a healthy, prosperous, and equitable future.
Human influence is unequivocally to blame for the warming of the planet,
and the sad truth is some forms of climate disruption will be felt for centuries to come.
However, we must collectively push away from the dirty fossil fuel economy and old technologies of centuries past
