"IF CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES GOES WRONG
NOTHING ELSE WILL GO RIGHT"
BY M.S. SWAMINATHAN
Our surroundings, mother nature, habitats, trees, water bodies, birds, animals etc. etc. etc....................
All contributes to an environment. All are dependent to each other. Human cannot live alone in this beautiful creation of God i.e. EARTH. Always remember that earth doesn't belongs to human alone. Human must know its importance, its value and at least feel gratitude and indebtedness to mother nature and try to save, conserve to our environment which gives us life to live in it. Nowadays various environmental issues growing day by day. Main factors by which our environment is being affected are:
- Change in climate condition
- Deforestation
- Global warming

Therefore, considering above points World Environment Day was designed by the United Nation General Assembly in 1972 on the conference named as "United Nations Conference on Human Environment". Then in 1974, a special day was announced as global celebration of World Environment Day with a theme i.e. "ONLY ONE EARTH" which is related to many major issues of environment. Like every year this year too world is celebrating WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY 2020 on 5th of June with a Theme "CELEBRATE BIODIVERSITY" and will be hosted by Colombia in partnership with Germany. This is the biggest global event run by United Nations to make people aware about the conservation of nature, to protect our nature and look into various issues that are growing day by day.
