Raising awareness about the need for participation in order to conserve and preserve the environment is an ongoing process and its main goal is to identify environmental issues globally and locally. Thousands of experts and educators attend to maintain the conservation and protect the environment. That is an occasion that we should remember and celebrate. And today, on the 26th of January is World Environment Education Day.
The importance since past decades has become clear and indicates the causes and effects of climate change, realizing that sustainable development is the aspect of meeting the issues and people’s needs without endangering the future and generations. That means that participating and educating about the environment is crucial for ensuring the survival of nations. Moreover, the urgency of understanding the appliance of renewable energy is vital as never as before.
World Environmental Education Day is an opportunity to promote knowledge about some of the most serious problems that our planet facing. And after identifying them act to address the issues of today’s world.
World Wetlands Day
Another United Nations international day is celebrated on 2nd February in remembrance of wetlands sustainability and conservation needs. World Wetlands Day is a reminder of the appeal to invest financial, human, and political capital to save the world’s wetlands from disappearing and to restore those we have degraded.
Since 2015, HSF works on the conservation of wetlands and international cooperation through the East Asian Australasian Flyway Partnership, Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, and others.
A call to take action is the focus for the conservation of the wetlands, but also needs to keep in mind the birds and amphibian creatures that used to live near or in the wetlands.
Let us remember these days and take the action toward conservation, sustainability, and the development of nature.
Since 2015, the Hanns Seidel Foundation advocates with international partners like the East Asian-Australasian Flyway Partnership (EAAFP) or the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands for the conservation of wetlands. The protection of wetlands plays a big role in the global environmental debate, as also highlighted by the partner of the Hanns Seidel Foundation in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on World Wetlands Day.
