His visit underscores the importance of better science-informed policy and action on #biodiversity #ForNature .🌏

#NameItToSaveIt

The father of taxonomy, Carl Linnaeus, was born on this day in 1707.

This is why 23 May has been chosen as the official #Taxonomy Recognition Day, celebrated for the first time in 11 European countries.

Congratulations to 🇪🇺 TETTRIs & CETAF !

The Biodiversity Plan provides a roadmap recognizing the key role of agriculture and sustainable use of #biodiversity

Food and Agriculture Organization is #PartOfThePlan working to reach these targets on #BiodiversityDay & every day👇

A close relationship with nature and ancient knowledge is helping these communities fight the effects of #ClimateChange around the world. 🌱
