SUMMARY:International Day for Biological Diversity
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations has proclaimed May 22 The International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) to increase understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues. When first created by the Second Committee of the UN General Assembly in late 1993\, 29 December (the date of entry into force of the Convention of Biological Diversity)\, was designated The International Day for Biological Diversity. In December 2000\, the UN General Assembly adopted 22 May as IDB\, to commemorate the adoption of the text of the Convention on 22 May 1992 by the Nairobi Final Act of the Conference for the Adoption of the Agreed Text of the Convention on Biological Diversity. This was partly done because it was difficult for many countries to plan and carry out suitable celebrations for the date of 29 December\, given the number of holidays that coincide around that time of year.

SUMMARY:World Bee Day
DESCRIPTION:Bees and other pollinators\, such as butterflies\, bats and hummingbirds\, are increasingly under threat from human activities.\nPollination is\, however\, a fundamental process for the survival of our ecosystems. Nearly 90% of the world’s wild flowering plant species depend\, entirely\, or at least in part\, on animal pollination\, along with more than 75% of the world’s food crops and 35% of global agricultural land. Not only do pollinators contribute directly to food security\, but they are key to conserving biodiversity.\nTo raise awareness of the importance of pollinators\, the threats they face and their contribution to sustainable development\, the UN designated 20 May as World Bee Day.

SUMMARY:World Fair Trade Day
DESCRIPTION:We here in the first world take our coffee\, bananas\, jeans and sneakers for granted\, but there are many people in other countries that are not so lucky. Every day\, tens of thousands of people in various Asian\, African and South American countries men\, women and even children work themselves to the bone in nearly unbearable conditions for pennies so we can continue to enjoy those things.\nHowever\, there are many people in this world who feel that everyone deserves decent wages and working conditions\, regardless of where they live\, and these people have created Fair Trade Day. Fair Trade Day is a global event that aims to draw attention to the objectives and achievements of the Fair Trade movement.\nThe Fair Trade movement campaigns to improve the lives of workers and small producers\, especially those within developing economies\, by asserting their rights and raising their visibility within international trade. The movement invites consumers to participate in its campaign by choosing Fair Trade alternatives to existing products.
