Celebrating the International Day for Biological Diversity

This year, the International Day for Biological Diversity on 22 May will be celebrated on the theme “Biodiversity and Climate Change”. The theme is particularly appropriate, coming in the wake of the recently released Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The assessment makes it clear that climate change is real, that it is driven by human activity, and that, without action, its consequences on natural systems and on society will be severe.<br><br><table width=120> <tr><b>Other languages:</b></tr> <tr><td>Spanish </td><td><a href="/doc/press/2007/pr-2007-05-17-ibd-es.pdf "><img src='/images/ico-fmt-pdf.gif' border='0' width='20' height='22'></a><a href='/doc/press/2007/pr-2007-05-17-ibd-es.doc'><img src='/images/ico-fmt-doc.gif' border='0' width='20' height='22'></a></td></tr> </table>
