World Environment Day

Happy World Environment Day! First celebrated back in 1973 with the theme 'Only One Earth,' this event, organized by the United Nations, is all about encouraging people to help protect the environment. It is celebrated in over 143 countries around the world. This year's theme focuses on land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience.
Pictured here is Madagascar's Masoala National Park, part of the Rainforests of the Atsinanana UNESCO World Heritage Site. This park, which covers nearly 930 square miles is a wildlife haven, harboring 10 lemur species like red ruffed lemur and aye-aye, birds like red owl and helmet vanga, as well as other species such as Madagascar day geckos and tomato frogs. In times past, illegal rosewood loggers threatened this region, but the strength of unity and conservation has made a stand. So, let's take inspiration from Masoala and champion the planet that cradles us all. After all, there is no planet B.
