April 22, International Mother Earth Day

Climate change, man-made changes to nature, such as deforestation, land use change, intensive agricultural and livestock production, and the growing illegal wildlife trade, can accelerate the pace of destruction of the planet.

Ecosystems support all forms of life on Earth. The health of our planet and its inhabitants directly depends on the health of our ecosystems. Restoring damaged ecosystems will help end poverty, combat climate change, and prevent mass extinction. But we will only achieve this if everyone does their part.

Let us remember today more than ever on this day, that we need to shift towards a more sustainable economy that works for both people and the planet. Let’s promote harmony with nature and the Earth.
