Today, what is the difference between a death anniversary and a Biodiversity Day?
One is celebrated after death, the other in preparation for death.
You might not agree with my sentence. On many occasions, I myself might turn around. But when talking about Biodiversity Day, this definition seems factual. You still doubt? Let us know how —
National Biodiversity Authority: This organization was formed in India on 1st October 2003.
Why was it formed?
This organization was formed to ensure smooth implementation of the Biological Diversity Act, 2002.
In 2012, the NBA organized the National Biodiversity Congress (NBC) for the first time in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. On this occasion, National Biodiversity Student Congress was also organized.
How hopeful does it seem! But it is worth noting because after one year of enacting the law, the organization was formed; and after nine years, a clap and play program was organized.
In 2015 I got a chance to visit Noida, “The Earth Research Center”, to discuss a project on the exploitation of water in NCR and to get some support; but there we found some tea-snacks and a book which was published by a scientist. That book was about bio-diversity. Photos of all endangered organisms in India and potentially extinct creatures images were preserved in it.
The year 2020 also becomes very important because on same day, in 2010, the Parties for Conservation of Biodiversity (CBD) adopted the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020, to protect biodiversity by all countries and stakeholders. A ten-year framework was prepared to take action and provide benefits for the people.
If we want to understand the decisions of the country, the world, the entire earth and the people sitting on big positions, then it is better that we understand the decisions taken by us. It helps a lot.
The picture shown below is a sample of the same. To understand it better, once in simple language, let’s understand biodiversity.
“Biodiversity is the habitat of animals, insects, and all living creatures living in a particular area in front of your eyes in the world before, or unknown to you. ”
And in the name of trade and development under the cover of this biodiversity, the intent of this CBD is now clearly understood in this picture.
Among its seventeen standards, the standards that speak directly to natural conservation are just four. Which start at 13th and finish at 16th.
Just like our Sunday list of tasks, in which valuable tasks start after all the sporadic chores in the house and finally we write one half of the valuable tasks in the list to console ourselves.
Yes, it is another matter that by coming to those valuable works, we are so tired that we postpone it to the next Sunday. Just like the dreams of biodiversity have also been postponed till 2050.
Now let’s review some real work done from 2011 to 2020 :
Why and how do fires occur in forests?
Wildfires often occur in the dry season in Brazil, but they are deliberately initiated in illegal deforestation efforts to graze cattle.
Inpe said “it had detected more than 74,000 fires between January and August” — the highest number since 2010. She said she had seen more than 9,500 wildfires, mostly in the Amazon region.
However, 2019 is not the worst year in recent history. Brazil experienced more fire activity in the 2000s – 2005 saw more than 133,000 fires in the first eight months of the year.
Most of the fires are done in the name of palm oil cultivation and animal meat farming to end the forests and sometimes for urbanization.
South Korea :
- March 2013 Wildfire of Gangwon Province.
- April 2019 Wildfire of Gangwon Province. The forest fire lasted for three days. This massive struggle burned 1,307 acres of land
India :
- 2019 bandipur forest fire
- 2016 Uttarakhand forest fires (2016 fires have come in the news, but on record, but in order to cut trees annually and build land for illegal hotels, the roots of the trees are burnt with their dried leaves in a few days. When trees dry themselves, they are cut and sold)
Brazil: Wildfire in the Amazon:
While wildfires have become an annual occurrence in the Amazon during August and September, this year’s scale surpassed all estimates. Official figures show 87,000 fires in the first eight months of 2019, nearly double the 2018 figure. Capture
This data will be enough to tell how arson has increased in a sequential manner.
Australia 2019:
In eastern Australia, bush fires burned millions of acres of vegetation. The blast prompted authorities to issue a “horrifying” warning, which is the worst threat to Sydney so far, as a cloud of smoke from over 100 deadly fires was seen, far above New Zealand.
The painful and scared eyes of millions of creatures and plants are hidden from whose eyes?

Let’s move forward —
More than 200 million animals are killed every day worldwide for food – just on land. Including wild-caught and farmed fishes, we reach close to 3 billion animals per day. That is, 72 billion terrestrial animals and 1.2 trillion aquatic animals are killed every year for food.
And according to the Red Book, the number of listed animals endangered by 2019 in India alone is 132. And with the vigor with which these institutions are working, you yourself are wise enough to understand how reliable this number is and how frightening the truth is.
And finally –
Honey placed in any corner of your house is the reason for someone’s raping and feather chopping —
The queen is cut on the bee so that she cannot go anywhere. These are then inseminated by artificial insemination. The rest of the bees collect pollen for the queen bees and their children throughout the life that we steal.
And here, I am leaving you with this question — how such bee keeping is the cause of extinction of bees?
Please, Read, Research, Understand And Act – Only You can revert your actions, else nature is ready to give a throw back to the attacks done by us!
