On June 5th of every year since 1972 the world celebrates World Environment Day (WED), an occasion for the UN and environmental organizations to spread awareness worldwide, celebrate positive environmental accomplishments, encourage political attention and stimulate green policies and action. Given that 2010 is the International Year of Biodiversity, this year’s WED theme will be “Many Species. One Planet. One Future.” Stressing the importance of conserving our planet’s precious biodiversity and the delicate interconnected “eco-librium” we all share.
