NCCS explores nexus between biodiversity loss and COVID
pandemic
The United Nations proclaimed 22 May as The International Day for Biological Diversity
(IDB) to increase awareness about the importance of biodiversity. Annual celebrations
across the globe on this day draw the attention of the public towards various issues related
to biodiversity and conservation. The Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) announces a theme each year, and the theme for 2021 was, “We’re part of the solution”. This is a continuation of last year’s theme, “Our solutions are in nature”, which served to remind us that the answers to many of our sustainable development challenges lie in biodiversity. This year’s theme also underscores the need for everyone’s participation to arrive at solutions collectively as a human race.
