From the hot arid deserts of the Sahara in Africa, through the lush green rain forests of the South American Amazon, to the ocean depths and bright corals, our natural world is a marvel of different land scapes, materials, colours and textures. Every year we celebrate the International Day for Biological Diversity to remind us of the important role of the variety of life on our planet in providing for our wealth, health and well bei ng.
