WORLD HEALTH DAY 2010: 1000 cities, 1000 lives

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

Our lives depend on biodiversity. Our health depends on biodiversity. Species and ecosystems are part of a complex web that provides all the elements for human well-being. This is true no matter where we live on this planet, but it is particularly relevant for the urban dwellers of our global society. As of 2007, the Earth’s population became mostly urban. This is why, during this International Year of Biodiversity, we add our voice to the celebrations of World Health Day under the theme of 1000 cities, 1000 lives.
