Today marks the International Day for Biological Diversity, a United Nations–sanctioned day dedicated to raising global awareness and understanding of biodiversity issues.
Observed annually on May 22, it highlights the importance of protecting ecosystems and halting the unprecedented loss of life on Earth.
This year’s official theme is "Acting locally for global impact", and the campaign connects local, grassroots initiatives with the 23 targets outlined in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, which aims to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030.

Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu has confirmed the killing of an Islamic State leader known as Abu-Bilal al-Minuki in a joint operation with the United States.
Tinubu said in a statement that al-Manuki was killed along with "several of his lieutenants" during a strike on his compound in the Lake Chad Basin, Nigeria.
US President Donald Trump described al-Minuki as the "second in command of ISIS globally" and "the most active terrorist in the world".
In recent years, Nigeria’s military linked the al-Minuki with several acts of violence in various parts of Africa including moving fighters to Libya and the 2018 kidnapping of 100 schoolgirls.
IS also claimed responsibility for the deadly attack at a football pitch which killed 29 people in north-eastern Nigeria last month.
