United Nations - Biodiversity is the foundation for life and for the essential services provided by ecosystems. It therefore underpins peoples’ livelihoods and sustainable development in all areas of activity, including economic sectors such as agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and tourism, among others. By stopping biodiversity loss, we are investing in people, their lives and their well-being. Join us in celebrating the variety of life on Earth on 22 May, the International Day for Biological Diversity. To find out what you can do visit: https://www.cbd.int/idb/2016/

To mark the International day for Biological Diversity, a series of activities was carried out with schools around Guwahati to bridge the gap between books and biodiversity. A group of students were taken to Chandubi-Meghalaya area for the first-hand exposure to biological diversity and community's relationship with it followed by a creative debrief in the schools organized by these students and their peers themselves. This debrief consisted of a host of interesting activities showcased on the occasion of the International Day for Biological Diversity 2014.

Living Seed and Living Soil are the foundation for living lasting society

A message from Dr Vandana Shiva for the International Day of Biodiversity (May 22) and the March Against Monsanto (May 23).
Dr Shiva reminds us of the importance of our biodiversity and introduces us to 2 films from the 5 part series called Living Farms- Part 1: The Living Seed and Part 2: The Living Soil.
"We are made of biodiversity, we celebrate biodiversity and this particular year I am so happy to introduce two special films produced by Navdanya and made by the Tadpole Artists Collective on the biodiversity of our Living Soil and the biodiversity of our Living Seeds. It's the biodiversity of seeds that has brought source of nutrition as well as the source of sustainability.
Without that biodiversity we produce nutritionally empty commodities with very high costs of toxic inputs whether the toxics come from outside or are put into the plants. Living Soil has more diversity that the plants we see above, the insects we see above, even the forest.”

Saha Astitva (which means co-existence in Sanskrit) is a street play on the interdependence of coastal and inland wetlands performed to commemoratetThe International Day for Biological Diversity . The International Day for Biological Diversity was commemorated by Vanashakti and the GOI-GIZ-CMPA (with the Maharashtra State Forest Department’s Mangrove Cell) as the nodal agency [GOI: Govt. Of India; GIZ: Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit or the Indo-German Biodiversity Programme; CMPA: Coastal and Marine Protected Areas ], at the soon to be developed Marine Interpretation Centre at Airoli, Navi Mumbai. The event was attended by Vidyadhiraja High School, Mumbai and fishing community members. The Secretary (Forests), Additional Principle Chief Conservator of Forests (Wildlife), Chief Conservator of Forests (Mangrove Cell) and Chief Conservator of Forests (Thane) were also present to grace the occasion.
Saha Astitva addressed the existing mangroves and wetland biodiversity, its importance and impact of human activities on the ecosystem.
Saha Astitva was performed by The Living Theatricals, Vanashakti's environmental theatre group from the Tansa Valley, a predominantly tribal area, about 70 km from Mumbai. This is a group of about 25 children aged between 12-23 years and our mentors that educates the villages in the Valley on issues of local environmental degradation through street plays and stage plays. Issues like human induced forest fires, methods in rural waste management, ground water conservation and recharge, methods and techniques in organic farming etc. that are specific to the valley are taken up by the group. Thanks to their efforts, the forest fires have reduced by 95% in two years of beginning the awareness campaigns (on the onset of the dry season, every evening acres of forest lands were set on fire in order to hunt for rabbits), the village panchayats have been mobilized into installing public waste bins (the waste was otherwise dumped in the river), shops in many villages have substituted plastic bags with handmade paper bags.
Rehearsals and practice sessions are conducted in agricultural fields, along the river banks, under shady trees etc. where the children can tend to their domestic chores (like cow herding, tending to the farms, harvesting the farm produce etc.) as well as rehearse simultaneously. The Living Theatrical also performs in Mumbai on days of environmental commemoration like World Wetland Day, International Day for Biological Diversity, Aarey Mahotsav, Earth Day or the like spreading awareness specific to the theme of commemoration.
The play was performed on the banks of the Thane Creek, an Important Bird Area (IBA).

Biodiversity
Biodiversity, a contraction of "biological diversity," generally refers to the variety and variability of life on Earth. One of the most widely used definitions defines it in terms of the variability within species, between species, and between ecosystems. It is a measure of the variety of organisms present in different ecosystems. This can refer to genetic variation, ecosystem variation, or species variation (number of species) within an area, biome, or planet. Terrestrial biodiversity tends to be greater near the equator, which seems to be the result of the warm climate and high primary productivity. Biodiversity is not distributed evenly on Earth. It is richest in the tropics. Marine biodiversity tends to be highest along coasts in the Western Pacific, where sea surface temperature is highest and in the mid-latitudinal band in all oceans. There are latitudinal gradients in species diversity. Biodiversity generally tends to cluster in hotspots, and has been increasing through time, but will be likely to slow in the future.

International observance
An international observance, also known as an international dedication or an international anniversary, is a period of time to observe some issue of international interest or concern. This is used to commemorate, promote and mobilize for action. Many of these periods have been established by the United Nations General Assembly (UN), Economic and Social Council, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO),World Health Organization (WHO) and other United Nations bodies including the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). In this case, the lead agency for a particular international observance uses the symbolism of the United Nations (UN), perhaps a specially designed logo for the year, and the UN infrastructure to coordinate events worldwide. It also presents a written report about the event. This summarizes the activities that took place around the world under the auspices of the international observance, and makes recommendations for the future.

International Day for Biological Diversity
The International Day for Biological Diversity (or World Biodiversity Day) is a United Nations–sanctioned international day for the promotion of biodiversity issues. It is currently held on May 22.
The International Day for Biological Diversity falls within the scope of the UN Post-2015 Development Agenda's Sustainable Development Goals. In this larger initiative of international cooperation, the topic of biodiversity concerns stakeholders in sustainable agriculture; desertification, land degradation and drought; water and sanitation; health and sustainable development; energy; science, technology and innovation, knowledge-sharing and capacity-building; urban resilience and adaptation; sustainable transport; climate change and disaster risk reduction; oceans and seas; forests; vulnerable groups including indigenous peoples; and food security. The critical role of biodiversity in sustainable development was recognized in a Rio+20 outcome document, "The World We Want: A Future for All".

International
International mostly means something (a company, language, or organization) involving more than a single country. The term international as a word means involvement of, interaction between or encompassing more than one nation, or generally beyond national boundaries. For example, international law, which is applied by more than one country and usually everywhere on Earth, and international language which is a language spoken by residents of more than one country.
Origin of the word
The term international was coined by the utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham in his Introduction to Principles of Morals and Legislation, which was printed for publication in 1780 and published in 1789. Bentham wrote: "The word international, it must be acknowledged, is a new one; though, it is hoped, sufficiently analogous and intelligible. It is calculated to express, in a more significant way, the branch of law which goes commonly under the name of the law of nations. The word was adopted in French in 1801.Thomas Erskine Holland noted in his article on Bentham in the 11th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica that "Many of Bentham's phrases, such as 'international,' 'utilitarian,' 'codification,' are valuable additions to our language; but the majority of them, especially those of Greek derivation, have taken no root in it."

It's the biodiversity of seeds that has brought source of nutrition as well as the source of sustainability.
Without that biodiversity we produce nutritionally empty commodities with very high costs of toxic inputs whether the toxics come from outside or are put into the plants. Living Soil has more diversity that the plants we see above, the insects we see above, even the forest.”

Saha Astitva (which means co-existence in Sanskrit) is a street play on the interdependence of coastal and inland wetlands performed to commemoratetThe International Day for Biological Diversity . The International Day for Biological Diversity was commemorated by Vanashakti and the GOI-GIZ-CMPA (with the Maharashtra State Forest Department’s Mangrove Cell) as the nodal agency [GOI: Govt. Of India; GIZ: Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit or the Indo-German Biodiversity Programme; CMPA: Coastal and Marine Protected Areas ], at the soon to be developed Marine Interpretation Centre at Airoli, Navi Mumbai. The event was attended by Vidyadhiraja High School, Mumbai and fishing community members. The Secretary (Forests), Additional Principle Chief Conservator of Forests (Wildlife), Chief Conservator of Forests (Mangrove Cell) and Chief Conservator of Forests (Thane) were also present to grace the occasion.
Saha Astitva addressed the existing mangroves and wetland biodiversity, its importance and impact of human activities on the ecosystem.
Saha Astitva was performed by The Living Theatricals, Vanashakti's environmental theatre group from the Tansa Valley, a predominantly tribal area, about 70 km from Mumbai. This is a group of about 25 children aged between 12-23 years and our mentors that educates the villages in the Valley on issues of local environmental degradation through street plays and stage plays. Issues like human induced forest fires, methods in rural waste management, ground water conservation and recharge, methods and techniques in organic farming etc. that are specific to the valley are taken up by the group. Thanks to their efforts, the forest fires have reduced by 95% in two years of beginning the awareness campaigns (on the onset of the dry season, every evening acres of forest lands were set on fire in order to hunt for rabbits), the village panchayats have been mobilized into installing public waste bins (the waste was otherwise dumped in the river), shops in many villages have substituted plastic bags with handmade paper bags.
Rehearsals and practice sessions are conducted in agricultural fields, along the river banks, under shady trees etc. where the children can tend to their domestic chores (like cow herding, tending to the farms, harvesting the farm produce etc.) as well as rehearse simultaneously. The Living Theatrical also performs in Mumbai on days of environmental commemoration like World Wetland Day, International Day for Biological Diversity, Aarey Mahotsav, Earth Day or the like spreading awareness specific to the theme of commemoration.
The play was performed on the banks of the Thane Creek, an Important Bird Area (IBA).

Saha Astitva (which means co-existence in Sanskrit) is a street play on the interdependence of coastal and inland wetlands performed to commemoratetThe International Day for Biological Diversity . The International Day for Biological Diversity was commemorated by Vanashakti and the GOI-GIZ-CMPA (with the Maharashtra State Forest Department’s Mangrove Cell) as the nodal agency [GOI: Govt. Of India; GIZ: Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit or the Indo-German Biodiversity Programme; CMPA: Coastal and Marine Protected Areas ], at the soon to be developed Marine Interpretation Centre at Airoli, Navi Mumbai. The event was attended by Vidyadhiraja High School, Mumbai and fishing community members. The Secretary (Forests), Additional Principle Chief Conservator of Forests (Wildlife), Chief Conservator of Forests (Mangrove Cell) and Chief Conservator of Forests (Thane) were also present to grace the occasion.
Saha Astitva addressed the existing mangroves and wetland biodiversity, its importance and impact of human activities on the ecosystem.
Saha Astitva was performed by The Living Theatricals, Vanashakti's environmental theatre group from the Tansa Valley, a predominantly tribal area, about 70 km from Mumbai. This is a group of about 25 children aged between 12-23 years and our mentors that educates the villages in the Valley on issues of local environmental degradation through street plays and stage plays. Issues like human induced forest fires, methods in rural waste management, ground water conservation and recharge, methods and techniques in organic farming etc. that are specific to the valley are taken up by the group. Thanks to their efforts, the forest fires have reduced by 95% in two years of beginning the awareness campaigns (on the onset of the dry season, every evening acres of forest lands were set on fire in order to hunt for rabbits), the village panchayats have been mobilized into installing public waste bins (the waste was otherwise dumped in the river), shops in many villages have substituted plastic bags with handmade paper bags.
Rehearsals and practice sessions are conducted in agricultural fields, along the river banks, under shady trees etc. where the children can tend to their domestic chores (like cow herding, tending to the farms, harvesting the farm produce etc.) as well as rehearse simultaneously. The Living Theatrical also performs in Mumbai on days of environmental commemoration like World Wetland Day, International Day for Biological Diversity, Aarey Mahotsav, Earth Day or the like spreading awareness specific to the theme of commemoration.
The play was performed on the banks of the Thane Creek, an Important Bird Area (IBA).

#TradeJusticeAlliance #TPPSundayWebinar #stopTPP
Special webinar in observance of International Day for Biological Diversity (https://www.cbd.int/idb/2016/)!

Join Ben Beachy, a senior policy advisor for the Sierra Club's Responsible Trade Program, and Professor Chris Wold, director of Lewis & Clark Law School's International Enviromental law Project, to learn what the Obama administration WON'T tell you -- and learn what you can do to stop TPP's threat to wildlife!
Professor Wold will explain how TPP's conservation provisions are weak in comparison to existing multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs), in addition to having a failed enforcement mechanism. He will challenge the Office of the United States Trade Representative's narrative on how the TPP would save wildlife. Ben will address new threats TPP poses to wildlife,

As the United Nations and the Ministry of Environment of Japan prepare to globally launch the Decade of Biodiversity in Kanazawa, Japan, governments, businesses and ordinary citizens are being asked to do their bit to save our planet's delicate ecosystem over the next 10 years.
With the COP17 summit in Durban concluding with hopes of a binding agreement on carbon emissions, there is hope that the Decade of Biodiversity can build on this achievement.
Biodiversity is of vital importance to us all as it underpins a wide range of ecosystem services on which we depend. It provides for food security, human health, clean air and water, it contributes to local livelihoods and economic development and is essential in the fight against poverty.
Yet despite its huge importance, the planet's biodiversity is being lost at an unprecedented rate.
Throughout the United Nations Decade on Biodiversity (2011-202) governments are encouraged to develop, implement and communicate the results of national strategies for implementation of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity.
However, the initiative will not be without its challenges as governments and business strapped for cash in the current recession deal with a multitude of issues at the same time. So what can realistically be achieved over the next 10 years to prevent the loss of biodiversity? What can governments, business and you, the individual do to help the cause?
The involvement of a wide range of stakeholders, including children and youth, will be key to the success of the Decade. Already the United Nations has recognized the vital importance of our children's education to the future of the planet. The Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity hosts and coordinates The Green Wave, a project to raise awareness and educate young people -- tomorrow's leaders and citizens -- on biodiversity and on actions to preserve life on Earth. Each year, The Green Wave contributes to worldwide celebrations of the International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB).
The Organisation for Industrial, Spiritual and Cultural Advancement (OISCA) has been participating in The Green Wave all over the world since 2009. This year 2011, the International Year of Forests and the starting year of United Nations Decade on Biodiversity, over 14,000 children and adults at 105 OISCA sites in 13 countries have taken part in the campaign.
In a live and interactive web TV programme from Tokyo, two of the key figures driving the response to the planet's loss of biodiversity will be answering your questions about the United Nations Decade on Biodiversity.
Yasuaki Nagaishi, Secretary General of OISCA (Organisation for Industrial, Spiritual and Cultural Advancement) will join with Ahmed Djoghlaf, Executive Secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity at 20:30 (local time) on Tuesday December 20th to answer your questions.
