World Environment Day is celebrated on the 5th of June every year. It was started in 1972 by the United Nations Assembly when the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment began. Every year, the UN chooses different themes and different locations for the celebrations. The first event was celebrated in 1974 in the United States and the theme was ‘Only One Earth’.
“Celebrate Biodiversity: 2020”
The theme for 2020 is “Celebrate Biodiversity” , and will be hosted in Colombia in partnership with Germany. Colombia is one of the largest “Megadiverse” nations in the world to hold 10% of the planet’s biodiversity. Since it is part of the Amazon rain forest, Colombia ranks first in bird and orchid species diversity and second in plants, butterflies, freshwater fish, and amphibians.
Thus, on this occasion of a special day, I am sharing a Quiz Link with you all through which you can enhance your knowledge and it will also help you to know about some facts of our environment.
It won’t take more than 10 minutes but gives you a lot. So don’t skip…
