5th February 2010 International Year of Biodiversity2010 has been declared the International Year of Biodiversity (IYB) by the United Nations. The Curraghs Wildlife Park has joined the partnership of over 200 organisations in the United Kingdom and Isle of Man supporting the year by holding events and building public awareness
Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth. It is essential for sustaining the natural living systems or ecosystems that provide us with food, fuel, health, wealth, and other vital services.
Humans are part of this biodiversity too and have the power to protect or destroy it. Currently, our activities are destroying biodiversity at alarming rates. These losses are irreversible, impoverish us all and damage the life support systems we rely on. But we can prevent them.
We need to reflect on our achievements to safeguard biodiversity and focus on the urgent challenges ahead. Now is the time to act.
The Wildlife Park will be hosting events throughout the year to bring biodiversity to people's attention so keep checking back to see what's on |
