‘’The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it’’.

Every year world Environment day observed on 5^th June to spread awareness, encourage people to steps to protect the environment. 

This year's World Environment Day celebrations are expected to be subdued and confined to online seminars and activities.

Instead of going to the field to plant saplings, countries are expected to conduct online activities to promote environmental protection and awareness. 

Lakhs of people are expected to take part in online programmes organised by various organisations including NGOs. This year's hosts for the World Environment Day are Germany and Colombia. 

The current theme of world environment day is CELEBRATE BIODIVERSITY with a slogan TIME FOR NATURE.

Biodiversity is the most complex feature of our planet and it is the most vital. Without biodiversity, there is no future for humanity.’’

We are able to breathe and survive only because nature has provided the right amount of natural resources such as oxygen in the fresh air, water from the lakes, and so on. But since the last many years, human beings are continuously exploiting nature through pollution and other means that are leading to a very poorly-conditioned environment lately. 

It is very much important today to take care of nature and bring back the original form so that the planet Earth can be saved and life on the planet can be saved. With respect to such a concern, World Environment Day is celebrated across the world on 5th June each year. 

Recently, a number of things are happening across the world such as the forest fire in Brazil, the massive cyclone and flood in India, locust attacks in East Africa and Asia, and many others. Also, in addition to these, the pandemic of COVID that has affected the entire world is a new problem. Thus, this can be said that there is a direct connection between humans and biodiversity. 

The diseases such as coronavirus that is transmitted to humans through animals like bats, the natural disasters that are taking place are all sending us a message that nature is losing balance. Different actions that have taken place in the past and are still continued such as clearing out the forests, killing wildlife, and many others have crossed limits now. 

If these actions are not stopped now, nature is surely going to reciprocate in such a way that it is going to hamper the health and food systems even more. As of now billions of people have got affected by coronavirus across the world. The situation can worsen in the future with the onset of many other diseases if the right precautions are not taken now to safeguard the environment.
