Les Nations unies ont proclamé le 22 mai Journée internationale de la diversité biologique (JID) afin d’accroître la compréhension et la sensibilisation aux questions de biodiversité. « Alors que la communauté internationale est appelée à réexaminer sa relation avec le monde naturel, une chose est sûre : malgré nos avancées technologiques, nous dépendons entièrement d’écosystèmes sains et dynamiques pour notre eau, notre nourriture, nos médicaments, nos vêtements, notre carburant ou notre énergie, par exemple.

EN: May 22 – International Day for Biological Diversity
The United Nations has proclaimed May 22 The International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) to increase understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues. “Biological diversity is often understood in terms of the wide variety of plants, animals and microorganisms, but it also includes genetic differences within each species — for example, between varieties of crops and breeds of livestock — and the variety of ecosystems (lakes, forest, deserts, agricultural landscapes) that host multiple kind of interactions among their members (humans, plants, animals)... (…) While there is a growing recognition that biological diversity is a global asset of tremendous value to future generations, the number of species is being significantly reduced by certain human activities. Given the importance of public education and awareness about this issue, the UN decided to celebrate the International Day for Biological Diversity annually.
