History of Eco Day:

In 1972,on the first day of Stockholm Conference Human Environment WED was established. So the conference that was held on human environment was selected to begin from 5th to 16th at the United Nations by the United Nations General Assembly and United Nations Environment programme (UNEP). Nowadays with celebrating WED on the 5th June annually as declared in 1973.
Hence, every year it comes with a new theme and a new place to host to continue its journey. Highlighting the environment change with challenges & support the effect to address them, this is the focus of the host. Celebrate “Biodiversity” is the ultimate motive for celebrating “World Environment Day 2020” in the Colombia. They made a partnership with Germany respect with WED.

Know about Biodiversity:

“Biodiversity is the greatest treasure we have…Its diminishment is to prevented at all cost” –Thomas Eisner
Also, Biodiversity defines ‘richness of species (micro-organisms, plants and animals) occurring in a given habitat’.

The term ’Biodiversity’ was coin as a contraction of ‘biological diversity ‘in 1985, by biologist E.O. Wilson.
Three of Biodiversity –

Genetic diversity
Species diversity
Ecosystem diversity

So these three levels of biodiversity must work together to create the complexity of life on Earth.

Why biodiversity is so important?

• It is the source of species on which humans compete for food, fiber, shelter, fuel and medicine.
• It depends on the biosphere, which in turn leads to the stability in climate, water, soil, air, and the overall health of the biosphere.
Recently COVID-19 created a lockdown situation, where many people are unable to work and earn and it causes a life-death situation. In addition to that, wild shows us negative effects. Also, among them, we can point out some possessive effects.

Less air pollution due to fewer industries operating.
Improvement of air and water quality.
Positive effect on wildlife & Vegetation.

There are many problems related to the environment that need to be dealt with solving such various environmental issues by implementing protocols & actions to protect our mother nature and making a healthy environment for all. We may hold 5th June as a World Environment Day but nature safety doesn’t wait for a day. But, we should unite & make every day as an environment day with care of our mother nature.
