We all rely on biodiversity. Not only that, biodiversity and the life it sustains, has a right to existence beyond the benefits we as humans take from global and local biodiversity. Without biodiversity, many of the birds, animals and the ecosystems we love and enjoy and visit and live within would not exist, and the food and medicine we rely on would be gone.

Global biodiversity loss is real and is happening now and contributors like human-induced climate change, unchecked development, industrialisation and CO2 gas emissions are all to blame. We all have a responsibility to do what we can to support biodiversity and/or mitigate its loss, whether on a local or larger scale. International Day for Biodiversity raises awareness of the importance of diverse habitats and environments to not only human health and wellbeing but the health and wellbeing of the planet itself.

Bees are important pollinators and without the work they do in pollinating the crops of the food we eat, we would go hungry. Bees are under threat of extinction and World Bee Day exists to raise awareness of their importance globally. Check out the website to learn more about the beauty and importance of bees and how you can do your bit to help protect them.
