World Nature Conservation Day 2025: The World Nature Conservation Day is observed annually on July 28, highlighting the need to preserve the planet, its natural resources and biodiversity. The day is celebrated to raise awareness about environmental issues and promote efforts to safeguard nature and its precious offerings with sustainable practices. As the threat to the environment increases amidst rising climate change, deforestation and pollution levels, World Nature Conservation Day underlines why protecting nature is essential for human beings' survival. World Nature Conservation Day 2025: History While the exact origin of the day is not clear, it is understood that World Nature Conservation Day gained prominence in the early 1970s with the rise of global environmental awareness practices and many nature conservation efforts. It has been celebrated across the world for several years, promoting awareness and efforts to protect nature from an increasing set of threats, including weather fluctuations, climate upheaval, natural disasters, deforestation, pollution and loss of biodiversity. Campaigns, workshops and various green activities are conducted across the globe to mark the celebrations for the World Nature Conservation Day, inspiring everyone to take time out from their busy lifestyles for nature conservation and save the resources provided by Mother Earth. In India, the Indian government has carried out key initiatives for environmental protection, including the National Mission for Green India (GIM), which focuses on safeguarding and sustaining India's dense forests that feature a host of species that deserve our care and attention. It also helps revive degraded forests in the country. Namami Gange Mission is another valuable government initiative for nature conservation, helping clean and rejuvenate the great Ganga River. It is an effort to address the rise of pollution levels inside it and protect the wetlands along the river. Under LiFE, people are encouraged to inculcate good habits to preserve nature and its ecosystem in their regular lifestyles, including no single-use plastic usage, saving water, reducing electricity consumption and recycling waste. One Lifestyle Change India Wants Everyone to Make Lifestyle for Environment (LiFE) is part of the Indian government's broader push towards environmental protection and biodiversity. It's a concept introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at COP26 in Glasgow on 1st November 2021.
