International Day for Biological Diversity 2022: 22 May

International Day of Biodiversity or World Biodiversity Day is observed every year on 22 May to increase awareness and understanding of biodiversity issues.

The theme for 2022 is “Building a Shared Future for All Life”. Fitting into the context of the ongoing United Nations Decade on Restoration, which highlights that biodiversity is the answer to many sustainable development challenges, the slogan sends the message that biodiversity is the foundation on which we can build better.
In December 2000, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the agreed text of the Convention on Biological Diversity on 22 May 1992 as the IDB on 22 May to adopt the text of the Convention by the Nairobi Final Act of the Convention.
