22d May-Day of Biodiversity and Beautiful Nature

Anita Valentinova,source:forthenature.org, 22.05.2010

22d of May is International Day of Biodiversity and it is aimed at boosting the awareness of the issues and threats to biodiversity and ensuring the support for its preservation. This important day is declared officially by the United Nations Organization and the holiday has been celebrated since 1993 when the Convention for Biodiversity has been put into effect. Happy Holiday!

How do we define biodiversity?

Biodiversity may seem rather complex word, however, the whole nature that surrounds us stands behind one word. Moreover, the biodiversity includes species which we are familiar with and some that we have never heard of. Biodiversity is the miracle that we call Life. Therefore, it is everywhere-in the hot geysers and cool mountain springs, infinite desserts and impenetrable jungles, deepest waters, colourful meadows and high in the sky. Biodiversity is the thing that makes our planet distinct from millions others in the universe. Biodiversity is what makes the planet alive and unique.

Where does Bulgaria stand in the world treasure-house of biodiversity?

We are proud to say that Bulgaria is one of the wealthiest in Europe. Moreover, Bulgarian nature provides last shelter for many plant and animal species in Europe which turns Bulgaria into one of the last oases of wild nature in Europe.

Man and Nature? Only Man?

Man is, of course, integral part of biodiversity-he lives among it, change it, modify it, however, biodiversity has an impact on man as well. Unfortunately, we, human beings, are the biggest threat for the biodiversity and major reason for its loss. Do we allow this tragedy to continue? Do we live only for the commercial world, industries and our own pleasure?

On the occasion of International Day of Biodiversity and in relation to 2010-International Year of Biodiversity, many cities in Bulgaria will celebrate the day:

  • Bourgas city-The carnival of Biodiversity
  • Sofia city-The village of Biodiversity which is also a colourful Carnival of Biodiversity
