Dr. Michael Watson- Administrator, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), and Matthew Rhoads, Acting Deputy Administrator, Plant Protection and Quarantine, discuss with Dr. Kirk Johnson- Sant Director, National Museum of Natural History, and his team, Washington D.C., June 17, 2025. Every day, experts from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) protect U.S. agriculture and natural resources by identifying pests intercepted on incoming shipments at ports of entry or found around the country. To support this critical work, APHIS signed a memorandum of understanding with the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History to co-locate APHIS entomology and botany experts with other Federal and Smithsonian experts already working at the museum. This move will not only consolidate vital knowledge in one place, but it will also give APHIS experts access to the museum’s resources, including their extensive arthropod collection, which is a critical pest identification tool.

Calls for protection of Iraqi diversity on International Day for Tolerance
Baghdad, 02 December 2016 – In pursuance of their mandates to advance inclusive political dialogue and national reconciliation as well as build intercultural understanding, the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) and the UNESCO Office in Iraq, jointly organized today at the Martyr Monument in Baghdad a multimedia event and a Peace and Unity Concert in observation of the International Day for Tolerance.
The event was part of a broader effort to raise awareness of a need to preserve the fertile diversity of Iraq’s culture to counter a rise in intolerance and hatred. It aimed to encourage respect, dialogue and cooperation as well as mutual understanding among different cultures, sects, ethnic and religious communities of Iraq in order to actively combat fear, hatred and extremism.
Representatives of the Government of Iraq and a number of diplomats, in addition to civil society activists attended the event at Baghdad’s Martyr Monument.
Addressing the audience, the Deputy Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General (DSRSG) for Iraq for Political and Electoral Affairs, Mr. Gyorgy Busztin, condemned the senseless violence perpetrated by ISIL (Daesh), which he said deprives Iraqis of their basic right to security.
“Healing the wounds that ISIL has inflicted in the social fabric of Iraq can only be achieved through promoting the values of tolerance, fraternity, compassion and coexistence”, highlighted DSRSG Busztin. “Confronting ISIL is based on upholding the values that are contrary to the barbarism adopted by the group; and tolerance comes at the forefront of these tools”.
Speaking at the event, the UNESCO Representative to Iraq, Ms. Louise Haxthausen, said: “Tolerance is the appreciation of the rich diversity of Iraq’s culture. Today, this diversity is under threat and we must stand up together against those who seek to annihilate this diversity”.
Twenty-one years ago, on 16 November 1995, the Member States of UNESCO adopted the “Declaration of Principles on Tolerance” solemnly proclaiming 16 November as the International Day for Tolerance.
