WHEN IS WORLD NATURE CONSERVATION DAY?
World Nature Conservation Day
Observed on July 28 annually, World Nature Conservation Day acknowledges that a healthy environment is the foundation for a stable and healthy society.

It includes maintaining diversity of species, genes, and ecosystems, as well as functions of the environment, such as nutrient cycling.
