Biodiversity takes center stage with the World Biodiversity Day. The City of Nice, in its desire to celebrate biodiversity, organized awareness workshops focusing on Mother Nature.
Mother Nature calls for awareness! The Environmental House and the Promenade du Paillon have answered the call by offering awareness workshops on biodiversity to the locals of Nice, whether they are environmentalists or not.
What is biodiversity? It was declared by the United Nations in 1993 to defend biological diversity, sustainable use, and the protection of the natural resources of our planet. Fauna and flora are the priorities of the initiators of this global day. In a spirit of protection, associations, various stakeholders, and nature enthusiasts gather each year to prioritize biodiversity.
