Uganda: Empowering Local Communities to Unlock Global Biodiversity Restoration

Kampala — Every year on May 22, the international community marks the United Nations International Day for Biological Diversity to raise global awareness about the accelerating loss of our planet's species and ecosystems.

This day unites people worldwide to protect nature. It serves as a reminder that conserving habitats is crucial for our own food security, clean water, and climate stability.

This year, the global celebration centers on the official theme, "Acting locally for global impact," which highlights the profound truth that global plans to protect life on earth, such as the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, live or die based on small-scale execution.
