Celebrating nature conservation

Damien Enright recommends events for Biodiversity Week.

BIODIVERSITY is a buzz word which is here to stay and grows exponentially important as the accelerated extinction of animal and plant species impoverishes this planet and depletes its armoury for survival.

However, the biodiversity we still enjoy is to be cherished. Biodiversity Day is annually observed on May 22 and National Biodiversity Week, May 18-25, celebrates the concept of conserving nature in all its diverse and marvellous manifestations.
