World Environment Day 2020 - A spotlight on Biodiversity

This year’s theme for World Environment Day is Biodiversity. To mark the day and champion our natural environment the Society for the Environment (SocEnv) are looking for actions large and small - they all make a really positive difference.
 
World Environment Day – a UN initiative which takes place on the 5th June each year, provides a platform for global education and inspiration; shining attention on a particularly pressing environmental theme.
 
This year, the global theme for World Environment Day #WED20 is Biodiversity – a topic which Chartered Environmentalists agree is hugely important for the environment, both currently and looking to the future.
 
As part of this celebration, the Society and key partners are spearheading an awareness campaign to help people engage with biodiversity. At the heart of the campaign is the knowledge that everyone can play a part in helping to protect and enhance the biodiversity that we all live amongst.
 
To maximise impact, SocEnv have teamed up with the Wildlife Trusts’ 30 Days Wild campaign, which encourages people to do one wild thing each day during the month of June.
