Biodiversity is a large and all-inclusive concept that entails not only the preservation of ecosystem but maintaining the balance and proportion of every living organism within the planet.

The responsibility for preservation (maintaining of balance) of this system are directly and indirectly placed on humans. This is due to the daily decisions and activities of man ranging from such things as waste generation to emission of greenhouse gasses which consequently result into climate crisis.

Scientists around the world have warned that such human actions could lead to an inhabitable planet for later generation. The fact that climate changes at irregular pattern, and occurrences of some strange natural disasters further validate this assertion and fear.

Although some of these goals center majorly on policymakers however, many of them require our individual commitment and actions towards the course. Every one of us has a role to play in maintaining world biodiversity and preserving our ecosystem.

The following are some of the action that can be taken by individuals, organizations, policymakers etc. in order to ensure biodiversity and prevent planet degradation:
1. Reduce the amount waste generation by putting into use some re-usable materials and recycling others.

2. Avoid the use of non-biodegradable materials such as polythene sheets and plastic waste in general.

3. People should be enlightened time to time on the need for biodiversity and preservation of ecosystem through advocacies.

Nature photography has developed into a real hobby for me in these times of a global pandemic. Nature gives us hope, space, a home, and a sense of being a part of something bigger than ourselves. While going for walks in nature, I am reminded of the importance of biodiversity. When there is life in the undergrowth, many species thrive. There is much to point my lens at in wonder. Where there are only tightly-packed pine trees, there is a dry forest floor without life and much less to get lost in with my camera.

The Bealtaine Living Earth Biodiversity festival May 15-23 celebrates biodiversity and sustainability and features events from all across the South East of Ireland. The Festival derives its name from the ancient Celtic festival of Bealtaine when our ancient ancestors were by great necessity bound to the seasons and moods of the Earth and in May celebrated the rebirth of life. This festival introduces people to the wonders of our planet at the start of the summer so they can continue to enjoy and explore throughout the summer. Running for 17 years by Calmast, Waterford Institute of Technologys STEM engagement centre, the festival brings together approx 30 groups working together to engage communities in activities promoting biodiversity and sustainability.

While we all know the reasons we need to protect biodiversity on our planet, are we fully aware of who are the major role players in this process? The answer is you and us. Volunteers play an important role in the preservation of biodiversity! It is with your help we can monitor ecosystems, save animals in distress, maintain the health of indigenous vegetation, and keep our protected areas looked after. All of you can make a tremendous difference for biodiversity today because we know - you care, just like us. All of us are part of the solution.
