The World Nature Conservation Day is observed to increase the awareness of the importance of preserving nature and natural resources in order to protect the planet from the dangers of adverse effects of climate change. This day recognises the fact that a stable and healthy society is built on a healthy environment.

World Nature Conservation Day 2022: Theme

The theme of World Nature Conservation Day 2022 is “Forests and Livelihoods: Sustaining People and Planet”. 

This primarily concerns how humans can sustainably use nature for mining, and hunting, meet other human requirements, and at the same time conserve it for future generations.

There is no alternative plan or planet to protect the human race from the dangerous effects of climatic disasters. So, citizens, societies, and governments must work together to protect it.

What are the steps to conserve the environment?

• Use of alternative energy such as solar and wind energy.
• Plant more trees to maintain the ecosystem and to prevent soil erosion.
• Use the water resources in a proper way and reuse the kitchen water for watering the gardens.
• Grow vegetation in catchment areas.
• Reduce the usage of electricity.
• Use recyclable and biodegradable products.
• Ensure the recycling of wastes.
• Try to minimize the use of cars for a shorter distance.
• Use paper bags or cloth bag instead of plastic bags.
• Grow your own vegetables by using organic compost.
• Install water treatment plants and rainwater harvesting
