Complete Answer:
- The International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) was declared by the United Nations on May 22 to increase knowledge and recognition of biodiversity issues. 29 December (the date of entry into force of the Convention on Biological Diversity) was named as the International Day for Biological Diversity when the Second Committee of the UN General Assembly was first formed at the end of 1993.
- In December 2000, the IDB was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 22 May to celebrate the adoption, on 22 May 1992, of the text of the Convention by the Nairobi Final Act of the Conference for the Adoption of the Accepted Text of the Convention on Biological Diversity. This was achieved in part because with the number of holidays coinciding during that time of year it was difficult for many countries to schedule and carry out adequate celebrations for the date of 29 December.
- It focuses on biodiversity as the basis of our food and health and as a crucial mechanism for the transformation of our food systems.
- The term is given to the abundance of life on Earth and the natural patterns it forms is biological diversity - or biodiversity. The biodiversity that we see today is the fruit of billions of years of evolution, shaped by natural processes and more and more, by human influence. It forms the web of life that we are an integral part of, and on which we rely so completely.

Note: On 20 December 2000, the date was changed to celebrate the adoption of the Convention at the Rio Earth Summit on 22 May 1992 and in part, to prevent the several other holidays at the end of December.
