Internationally Recognized Days other days   May 22: International Day for Biological Diversity The International Day for Biological Diversity (or World Biodiversity Day) is a United Nations-sanctioned international holiday for the promotion of biodiversity issues. It is currently held on May 22. Recently, the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA), indicated that climate change is likely to become the dominant direct driver of biodiversity loss by the end of the century. The unprecedented pace of change we are presently experiencing is so rapid that a great number of species can not adapt fast enough to the new conditions, or move to regions more suited for their survival due to habitat fragmentation. In fact, recent estimates show that up to a million species may become extinct as a result of climate change.
