On this International Day for Biodiversity, we join the global community in celebrating and protecting the rich diversity of life that sustains our planet.

This year’s theme, “Acting Locally for Global Impact,” reminds us that every conservation effort matters. Healthy catchments sustain thriving wildlife and resilient communities by providing clean water, supporting biodiversity, and protecting livelihoods. Conserving our forests, wildlife and natural ecosystems is a shared responsibility that secures our future and that of generations to come.

Together, through collective responsibility, lets protect biodiversity and build a more sustainable future for people and wildlife.

Happy , to all our members and everyone else doing their best to ensure generations have equal access and benefit from thriving biodiversity.

🌿🌍 Happy International Day for Biological Diversity! 🌍🌿
22 May 2026

Theme: “Harmony with nature and sustainable development”

Today we join the global community in celebrating the incredible diversity of life that sustains our planet — from coastal ecosystems and coral reefs to mangroves, seagrasses, and open ocean biodiversity.

In the Western Indian Ocean, this diversity is at the heart of the work of the Nairobi Convention, which continues to support countries in protecting marine and coastal ecosystems through regional cooperation, science-based decision-making, and sustainable ocean governance.

This year’s celebration comes as we also convene an important webinar under the Nairobi Convention, focusing on strengthening regional collaboration and advancing shared solutions for ocean sustainability. The discussion reinforces the urgency of translating global biodiversity commitments into practical action at national and regional levels.

As biodiversity faces increasing pressure from climate change, pollution, and unsustainable use, initiatives under the Nairobi Convention remain critical in supporting Marine Protected Areas, improving enforcement, and restoring degraded ecosystems across the region.

Let’s continue working together to protect the natural systems that sustain livelihoods, economies, and future generations.
