Did you know… biodiversity is all around you? 🌼🐞🌳
It’s in the flowers you see, the bugs you find, the birds you hear, and even the food you eat!
Biodiversity means all the different living things on Earth — and guess what? You are a part of it too

The theme for this year's is all about taking care of nature right where we live, because even small actions can make a big difference for the whole planet.
Go outside and explore 🌳
Look closely at plants, animals, and insects 🐜
Ask questions and learn something new 🤔
Help take care of your local environment 🌱

When we notice and protect nature around us, we’re helping the entire Earth 🌍
