International Day for Biological Diversity

On December 20, 2000, the UN General Assembly declared May 22 as the International Day for Biological Diversity. On this day, the Convention on Biological Diversity was adopted.

This holiday draws public attention to the conservation of biodiversity as the basis for sustaining life, because biodiversity is the basis of the many benefits that ecosystems provide to people.

Today, we once again recall the need to preserve biodiversity and realize our responsibility to preserve this precious heritage for present and future generations.

At Karazin University, scientists of the School of Biology carry out diverse and multidisciplinary work in this area, in particular, practical environmental protection, biodiversity conservation, eco-education and eco-promotion.
