Wednesday 22 May is #BiodiversityDay. Here at NPAQ, we've spent nine decades championing the gazetting of #nationalparks and pushing for protected areas to be set aside for the primary purpose of preserving biodiversity. This year's theme is a call to action for all stakeholders to halt and reverse the loss of biodiversity by supporting the implementation of the #BiodiversityPlan. We can all do our part to 🌱 protect & restore nature. Be #PartOfThePlan.

Today is International Day for Biological Diversity. The United Nations aims to encourage and promote people to conserve biodiversity, reverse biodiversity loss and protect our natural resources. These vital natural resources provide us with goods and services such as food, water, shelter, plants and animals. Loss of biodiversity affects the environment’s integrity as well as social and economic systems that depend on these resources. It is not too late for you to play your part by turning the tide on the loss of our natural resources. Take action now. Be part of the plan to protect and preserve our natural resources and biodiversity. #BePartofthePlan #HaltandReverseBiodiversityLoss #PlayYourRole https://lnkd.in/ew7wWBjS

Today is #BiodiversityDay! Biodiversity is the cornerstone of our ecosystems. At UNU-FLORES, we tackle opportunities and challenges through the lens of the #ResourceNexus approach. This approach is instrumental in promoting biodiversity. Our world depends on the integrated management of water, soil, energy, and waste to support the diverse web of life. Our world depends on the integrated management of water, soil and energy to support the diverse web of ecosystems. Let's #BePartofThePlan to halt and reduce biodiversity loss.

Programmes based on "integrated" plans, for example to capture carbon, restore biodiversity, and find ways to support the livelihoods of communities living around and within forests are more likely to succeed than individual projects working in isolation. https://lnkd.in/gEUpUbNG
