Each of these species and organisms works together in ecosystems, like an intricate web, to maintain balance and support life. If one of them gets extinct, then others will start getting endangered o. "When biodiversity has a problem, humanity has a problem. Biological diversity resources are the pillars upon which we build civilizations. But the loss of biodiversity threatens all, including our health.
It has been proven that biodiversity loss could expand zoonoses - diseases transmitted from animals to humans- while, on the other hand, if we keep biodiversity intact, it offers excellent tools to fight against pandemics like those caused by coronaviruses."Therefore, to spread awareness and to increase understanding of the biodiversity issue, the UN decided to celebrate the International Day for Biological Diversity annually.International Day for Biological Diversity is observed every year on May 22.
