International Day for Biological Diversity quotes and wishes you can share with friends

The International Day for Biological Diversity is celebrated each year on May 22, to remind people around the world about the importance of biological diversity and how they affect the existing ecosystems in the world.

International Day for Biological Diversity Quotes

• Biodiversity starts in the distant past and it points towards the future
