The 22nd<\/sup> of May is International Day for Biological Diversity.<\/p>\n

Huh? I hear you say. Those are long words and what do they have to do with me?<\/p>\n

Well\u2026 they have a lot to do with us all. If we break up the words \u2013 starting with diversity \u2013 it means is that there are different types of things. Like there are different\u2026 colours, opinions, shoes, people, dogs, cats, birds, buildings, houses, clothes\u2026 you get the meaning.<\/p>\n

Biological diversity, simply put, means that there are different variations and types of all things living. Everything single thing \u2013 from humans, animals, vegetation, aquatic life, insects \u2013 anything that you can think of that is living, falls under this category.<\/p>\n

Imagine if we only had one specific type of tree that grew everywhere. Or there were only grey cats. Or there was only one kind of flower. \u00a0Imagine if everybody looked the same. Life would be horrendously boring don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n

So, in actual fact, the 22nd<\/sup> of May is really one of the most important days because we are celebrating LIFE!<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are inviting everybody to join our world-wide event and read \u201cSibo Likes Life\u201d free of charge on the website.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s really easy \u2013 all you do is click here <\/a>\u00a0 or you can simply visit Sibo\u2019s website <\/a>on the 22nd<\/sup> or 23rd of May (the book will only be freely available for these two days) and click on the cover of the book on my bookshelf.\u00a0 If you find it does not download, you might have to try using a different browser.<\/em><\/p>\n

It might also give ideas of what you can do to help celebrate life, not only on the 22nd<\/sup> of May but every single day.\u00a0 We\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n

You could plant some flowers or veggies or even a tree. Or get a group of people together and help clean up a messy area. Or if planting or cleaning is not your thing, you could volunteer at the local SPCA or animal shelter and play with the cats, or talk to the dogs that are homeless and would adore having some love and attention. You could make a bird feeder for your garden and enjoy watching all the different types of birds that start using it. Or just go for a walk and enjoy looking at all the different trees, shrubs, bushes, flowers, birds, and insects that you see along the way.<\/p>\n

Life is precious \u2013 take time to stop and sniff the daisies!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
