Holidays
World Habitat Day
World Habitat Day - designed to attract the attention of mankind to the problem of preserving the habitat of the fauna of planet Earth. This day is celebrated annually on October 6th.
World Habitat Day was established by environmentalists in 1979 with the adoption by the Council of Europe of the Berne Convention for the Protection of Wild Fauna and Flora and Natural Habitats. Now the convention is signed by 40 states that are members of the Council of Europe, as well as the European Union, Belarus, Monaco, Burkina Faso, Morocco, Tunisia and Senegal.
It is difficult to overestimate this problem. A man in the history of his civilization destroyed about 2 billion hectares of land that have now become a desert.
Statistics:
- Every hour from the face of the Earth 3 species of animals irrevocably disappear.
- More than 70 species of fauna and flora permanently disappear from the face of the Earth every day.
- Over the past 25 years, the biological diversity of the Earth has declined by more than a third.
