On June 5, Belarus celebrates Environmental Protection Day. This holiday has the status of a state holiday, and the date coincides with the global World Environment Day.

This is the main environmental day when millions of people around the world unite to draw attention to environmental issues, biodiversity conservation, and the careful use of natural resources.

Our common home is Earth, and preserving life on it is humanity's main task. Protecting the environment and caring for nature and its resources will ensure the future for all humankind. This is important for each of us.

Only together can we preserve the planet's ecosystems and biodiversity. This day reminds us of this important mission.
