Earth Hour 2023. Biodiversity Hour

time Because the Earth is to provoke people to think about the state of the planet, but also to motivate them to take action to save it. This year’s edition is dedicated to protecting and restoring biodiversity. What does biodiversity actually mean? According to the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), “It is the richness and diversity of genes, species, habitats, ecosystems and all life on Earth.” “Biodiversity has a positive effect on the functioning of ecosystems, thanks to which they become more stable, and thus resistant to external influences such as droughts, floods, fires and pollution” – we read. According to a WWF report, over the past 50 years, as a result of human expansion, the number of animal species has decreased by 69 percent.
