Observed annually on May 22, the date was established by the United Nations to raise awareness about the importance of protecting the planet’s biological diversity. The date was established by the United Nations (UN) to raise awareness of the need to conserve and protect the diversity of life on the planet. The terms biological diversity or biodiversity were coined in the 1980s to refer to the number of species of living beings on the planet, including all plants, animals and microorganisms. It is through flora and fauna that ecosystems regulate climatic processes, filter and purify water, recycle nutrients, maintain soil fertility and become natural sources of resources, wood and food. But what ensures that these environmental services are realized everywhere is the diversity of species. The genetic variety within the populations of a species is very important, because it makes it possible to provide adaptations for the different places the species will inhabit.
