"In the future the greatness of a nation will not be judged by its advance in technology or by its achievements in architecture, art or sports, but by the amount of nature and biodiversity that it can hand over to the next generation."
Prof. Dr. Markus Borner, former Director of Frankfurt Zoological Society's Africa Programme

International Day for Biological Diversity - 22 May 2020 - Our solutions are in nature
The trees, the plants, the flowers, the bugs, the bees, the birds, the butterflies, the frogs, the animals, and many more in the list of biodiversity.Let's take care, there think about this.

Covering 3000 sq km, the Zambezi Delta in Mozambique is one of the most diverse and productive river delta systems in the world. This unique wetland, which is protected under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, features a broad alluvial plain with vast mosaics of grassland, woods, deep swamps and extensive mangroves. Recognised as a global biodiversity conservation hotspot, this remarkable delta is home to a myriad of wildlife, from big mammals such as buffaloes, lions and elephants to water birds such as fish eagles and flamingos, to marine species such as dolphins and freshwater fish. As well as this rich biodiversity, this extraordinary delta not only provides a source of food for Mozambique, but also protects the coast from flooding.
While the Zambezi River Delta is an example of a healthy ecosystem, biological diversity is declining around the world. It is estimated that between 100 and 150 species disappear every day. The International Day for Biological Diversity is held every 22 May to increase understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues such as this. Ratified by 196 nations, the Convention on Biological Diversity is the international legal instrument for the conservation of biological diversity and the sustainable use of its components.
Satellites observing Earth have an important role to play as images can be used to assess the health of important ecosystems and show how they may be changing. This image was captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-2A satellite on 28 September 2016.

(Inspire on the International Day for Biological Diversity). Each species of vegetation and each creature has a place on the earth and plays a vital role in the circle of life. Plant, animal, and insect species interact and depend upon one another for what each offers, such as food, shelter, oxygen, and soil enrichment. And this include all humans. (Spanish: Toda especie de vegetación y criaturas tienen un lugar, conexión y labor en el Planeta y circulo de vida. Todos se entrelazan y dependen del uno al otro. Esto incluye también a nosotros). (French: Toutes les espèces de la végétation et les créatures ont une place et une connexion sur la planète et le cycle de vie. Tous se mêlent et s'appuient mutuellement. Cela inclut également nous).

The United Nations has proclaimed May 22 The International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) to increase understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues.
on May 22, the world comes together to observe 'International Biodiversity Day,' with the goal of raising awareness and educating people about the remarkable #diversity of life on Earth and its crucial role in sustaining ecosystems. This day serves as an #opportunity to address pressing global concerns such as climate change, global warming, and the alarming rate of species extinction affecting plants and #animals worldwide.
