World Environment Day 2020: Theme, importance of biodiversity, pics, & more
The year 2020 began with environmental crisis revealing itself in
a disturbing manner. Wildfires ravaged tropical rainforests as if they were
arid savannah and the Australian bushfires. Cyclones and floods washed away
trees and buildings. Now, locust attacks across Africa and India and the
coronavirus pandemic — all these calamities act as a reminder that human health
is linked to the planet's health.
World Environment
Day 2020 theme
The
theme of World Environment 2020 is 'celebrating biodiversity' — a concern that
is both urgent and existential. The fact is that the current environmental
crisis is a warning that we must heed collectively. We must now fundamentally
rethink our relationship with the living world, with natural ecosystems and
their biodiversity.
“With
one million species facing extinction, there has never been a more important
time to focus on biodiversity.” The day will be hosted in Colombia in partnership
with Germany.
