International day for Biological Diversity

The United Nations has proclaimed May 22 The International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) to increase understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues. This year the day is dedicated to the topic "Our solutions are inside the nature". In occasion of the IDB, the Italian Ministry of Environment, Land and Sea will organize the conference "Evaluate, conserve and enrich the Natural Capital in Italy" which an Ispra expert is participating.

In addition, the Institute publishes today the comics Discovering Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows and the video to celebrate the biodiversity day.
