International Mother Earth Day is observed annually on April 22nd. This day serves as a reminder of the importance of environmental conservation and sustainable development in protecting our planet and its ecosystems.

The concept of Mother Earth Day emerged from the environmental movement and was officially recognized by the United Nations in 2009. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of all living beings and the need to respect and care for the Earth as our shared home.

International Mother Earth Day aims to promote awareness about environmental issues such as climate change, pollution, deforestation, and biodiversity loss. It encourages individuals, communities, and governments to take action to reduce their ecological footprint, conserve natural resources, and promote sustainability in all aspects of life.

Various events, activities, and initiatives are organized around the world on International Mother Earth Day, including tree planting campaigns, clean-up drives, educational programs, and advocacy efforts to raise awareness about environmental conservation and inspire positive change.
