International Day of Biological Diversity

The International Day for Biological Diversity is celebrated on 22 May every year.

The month of May is considered Biodiversity Month and to celebrate International Day for Biological Diversity, which was established in 2000 by the United Nations General Assembly. It is observed annually on May 22, a day that commemorates the adoption of the Convention on Biological Diversity in 1992.

International Day for Biological Diversity is celebrated to raise awareness about biological diversity and the issues surrounding it. This day aims to highlight effective strategies that can help protect biodiversity.

This year, CapeNature will be part of a competition that is open to learners who want to make a difference. We are looking for solutions to the threats facing our unique biodiversity. Enter as an individual or a pair and win incredible prizes. To find out more email learning@capenature.co.za.

Biodiversity Crime Awareness

In July, CapeNature hosts its biodiversity crime campaign in an attempt to educate the public on what can be done to protect our plants and animals from criminals

Biodiversity Crime involves the illegal collection, consumption, sale or exploitation of wild animals and plants. It destroys our natural resources, habitats and biodiversity; compromises our natural heritage and contributes to general criminal activity and all its negative social consequences.

If your community or school is interested in a programme about biodiversity crime, contact learning@capenature.co.za.
