The United Nations General Assembly declared that 2010 will be the International Year of Biological Diversity, which will serve to increase awareness of the importance of biodiversity around the world.

You are biodiversity . Most of the oxygen you breathe comes from plankton in the oceans and deep forests around the world. The fruit and vegetables you eat have probably been pollinated by bees, and the water you drink is part of a great global cycle that includes you, the clouds, the jungles, the glaciers, the rivers and the oceans.

Their diet depends almost entirely on the plants and animals that surround us , from the grasses that provide us with rice and wheat to the fish and meat from wild places and farms.

The United Nations call for awareness and the need to care for our planet and its species is a celebration of life on Earth and the value of biological diversity for our lives, inviting us to action in favor of biodiversity.
