Established by the United Nations more than two decades ago, May 22 is a day to recognize the millions of species – and perhaps as many as 1 trillion, if you count microbes – that call Earth home. It’s also an apt time to celebrate our oceans, which host 80% of Earth s biodiversity. High levels of biodiversity keep our oceans healthy, but did you know it’s good for human health, too?

The slogan for 2021 is We re part of the solution . (Representational) New Delhi: To celebrate natural diversity and spread awareness, May 22 is marked every year as the International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) globally.  Earlier, December 29 was designated as the International Day for Biological Diversity but in 2000, the UN General Assembly chose May 22 to mark the day. Every year, there is a theme or slogan that sets the tone of the campaign.  The slogan for 2021 is We re part of the solution .  The Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) announces the theme each year. The CBD says that this year s theme is a continuation of the momentum generated last year through the slogan: Our solutions are in nature , which served as a reminder that biodiversity remains the answer to several sustainable development challenges.
